The graphic bar places visual measure of ground distances on the map. Most software can automatically generate a graphic scale. You get 3.95707070707070707 miles. The scale bar would be 2.6 inches long. The ratio is small and the amount of reduction is large, producing a map of a large area.
Large scale means less reduction and a map covering a small area.
RF Verbal Scale Graphic Scale Large Scale Small Scale Entities Attribute Legend Cartographic Paradigms Review Questions Module 2 Section 1 Explain why a map is a model. Be able to convert between the different ways to express scale. When the scale of a map at any point on the map is the same in any direction, the projection is conformal. Shape is preserved locally on conformal maps. Distance A map is equidistant when it portrays distances from the center of the projection to any other place on the map.
