A map scale allows the map user to figure distance on a map as compared to the real distance. For instance on a map scale 1 inch might equal 500 miles.

What is a large scale map?

Here is a little trick to know how to tell the difference between a large scale map, and a small scale map. A large scale map is a map where your house would look large on it. For example, a map of your neighborhood, or a map of you area. (You can see you house on this map) A small scale map is a map where your house would look small on it (or you can't see it at all), like a map of the world, or a map of Europe. So large scale = large house small scale = small house.
