The 5 terrain features on a military map are the Title, Legend, Scale, North Arrow and Symbols and proper coloring.
The SCALE of the map indicates the relationship between distances measured on a map and the actual distances.
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.
you use a map scale by measuring by inches
It is the scale.

There is no standard scale of a map. The scale used depends on what the map is used for. A motorist may use a 4 miles to 1 inch, a cyclist 1 mile to 1 inch (or 1:50 000), and a walker use 1:25 000 - and so on.

There is not a standard scale of map. A motorist may use a 4 miles to the inch map, a cyclist use a 1:50 000 map, and a walker use a 1 :25 000 map. A surveyor may use a 6 inches to a mile map. And so on.
This is a large-scale map. Maps with scales of 1:75,000 and larger are used for tactical, administrative, and logistical planning. These are the maps that a soldier is most likely to encounter. The standard large-scale map is 1:50,000; however, many areas have been mapped at a scale of 1:25,000.

The map needs a scale so that distances on the map can be worked out.

A large scale map is a map with much more detail and focus in a particular area. For example, a map of a neighborhood or street compared to a small scale map, a map of Europe.
