Map scales
Map scales are used to indicate a measurement along the ground in relation to a printed map, so that on a map with a scale of 1:25,000, each 25,000 centimetres on the ground will be equal to one centimetre on the map. As map scales are typically described in inches this converts to one mile on the ground being equal to 2.5 inches on the map. The following listing shows how each scale is described.
1:25,000 = 1 mile to 2.5 inches
1:50,000 = 1 mile to 1.3 inches
1:63,360 = 1 mile to 1 inch
1:100,000 = 1.6 miles to 1 inch
1:200,000 = 3.2 miles to 1 inch
1:250,000 = 4 miles to 1 inch
1:625,000 = 10 miles to 1 inch
1:1,000,000 = 15.8 miles to 1 inch
1:2,000,000 = 31.6 miles to 1 inch
