A map drawn actual size wouldn't be too convenient. Plus ... can you imagine trying to fold it ! ?
blue prints and maps :P
a location drawn to scale
1:25,000 OR 1:50000
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'.
No, but they are labeled as not to scale if they are not to scale. Most of them are to scale.
Most maps have a key or legend, a scale to show distances, and a compass rose to indicate direction.
There are three main types of maps according to scale: small scale maps, medium scale maps, and large scale maps. Small scale maps show a large area with less detail, medium scale maps cover a moderate area with more detail, and large scale maps provide detailed information for a small area.
Most basements are drawn at 1/4 inch scale. So 1/4 inch will equal 1 foot.
The three map scales are small scale, medium scale, and large scale. Small scale maps cover large areas with less detail, medium scale maps cover regions with more detail, and large scale maps cover smaller areas with the most detail.
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 scaleadj 1. wide-ranging or extensive2. (of maps and models) constructed or drawn to a big scalescale - a relative degree or extent.
