A simple way to understand large and small scale when referring to cartography and maps is that a large scale map will represent a particular object (such as the boundary of a particular city) larger in size than would a small scale map.A large scale map of, say, Los Angeles may cover an entire wall.

A map scale of 1 to 5000 would show about a mile of city in a foot of map space. That is good enough to show the typical 10 - 16 streets per mile found in many cities.
