Does one inch equal the same amount of miles on all map scales?
No, if that map is just of the United States, it is going to be worth many less miles than if it were of the world. There is more area on a map of the world to cover, being that the paper that it is on is the same. All scales are generally the same, but that is in one common map. Maps of the states in a single book are going to have the same scales. But if you get one of the whole US in the same book, they use the same size paper and since its bigger than 1 single state, an inch is going to be worth more miles of the US than of one state. AKA. No some scales are different.
