How do I read a map scale?
Reading a map scale is essential for understanding distances. Do you have a specific map in mind?
Yes, I have a topographic map. What should I look for?
On a topographic map, the scale is usually indicated as a ratio or a graphic scale. A ratio like 1:50,000 means 1 unit on the map equals 50,000 units in reality.
What if the scale is in kilometers?
If the scale is in kilometers, you can convert the distance on the map to kilometers by using the same ratio. For example, if the scale is 1:100,000, then 1 cm on the map equals 1 km in reality.
Can you give me an example of how to measure a distance?
Sure! If you measure 5 cm between two points on the map with a scale of 1:100,000, that distance is 5 km in real life.
