In terms of cartography: Sketch (maps): Roughly drawn maps which may be inaccurate but can be quickly created. Maps: Should be accurate. Can be any scale. Features are drawn in their true position (within limitations of scale). Can be topographic; thematic; political etc. Diagrams: a cross-section etc. (aerial) Photograph: can look accurate but will be at different scales in various parts of the map because of distance from camera and pitch & yaw of aircraft. Plans: very Large Scale maps showing lots of detail. maybe of a single site.
Large scale maps are enlarged maps to show cities and sometimes small towns. Small scale maps are maps shrunken down only to show countries and continents. -The person-
ordnance survey maps. maps made by the ordnance survey
On the OS Explorer series (Scale 1:25,000) of Ordnance Survey maps, a well is denoted as a small unfilled blue circle with a blue capital "W" next to it. Springs are denoted by the same circle however the letters "Spr" are used in place of "W".The smaller scale maps (i.e. showing a larger area) such as the OS Landranger series (Scale 1:50,000) do not appear detailed enough to display wells (and they do not appear in the Key).See related links.
brown
blue prints and maps :P

A map drawn actual size wouldn't be too convenient. Plus ... can you imagine trying to fold it ! ?
It depends on the scale to which the map has been drawn. Not all maps are the same scale.
The nouns in the sentence are:maps, subject of the sentence;scale, object of the preposition 'to'.
a plan generally works using a smaller scale while a map uses a larger scale as it generally covers larger areas. a plan is a true scale scale representation while a map is drawn such that some features on it cannot be drawn to scale. on a map many features are represented as symblos and generalization is carried out reasulting in changes in scale and displacement of features. e.g on a 1:1 million map, rivers and roads may be shown but they cannot be drawn to scale. a 5m road would be 0.005mm wide if drawn according to scale. plans tend to be for a single or few applications while maps cover a large vary of uses e.g in exploration, military, reacreation, geological, navigation e.t.c

Large scaleadj 1. wide-ranging or extensive2. (of maps and models) constructed or drawn to a big scalescale - a relative degree or extent.
If details are needed (larger) smaller or fewer details (small)
