Drawn to scale means that an object is copied or drawn exactly as it is viewed but in a smaller size. For example, this term is often used to describe the delineation of distance or space and measurement on a set of plans.

It means for it's dimesions to be porportional to the original. For example, lets say there's a rectangular prism with a width of 6 units, height of 2 units, and depth of 4 units. A model (in this case smaller than actual object) could be width 3, height 1, depth 2. So you divide or multiply each dimension by the same number to get a model to scale.

What does it mean when a map or something is made to a scale?

The scale represents the relation of the map (or model or what ever else) to what it is meant to represent. A 1:1 scale model of a Lamborghini would be exactly the same size as a real car. A 1:10 scale model is 1/10th as big, so every inch or cm or meter on the model would represent 10 inches or cm or meters on the real car. It doesn't matter with scales what unit is used, it is a constant relationship
