A small area map.
The small map within a larger map is called an "overview map". Much like a regular map, the map contained by the overview map often shows the region of the larger map within the context of the larger area. If, for example, the large map shows a city then the overview map may show the country that contains it.
On the map cover.
Yes, the large map often provides a broader context, including geographical features, landmarks, and surrounding areas that may not be detailed on the locator map. The locator map typically focuses on a specific area and is designed to show a more zoomed-in view for navigation purposes. Therefore, aspects such as terrain types, regional boundaries, and adjacent locations might only be visible on the large map.
It could have, but the map of the small region would be very small. The map of the large area would more likely have a larger scale so that more area is covered on the same map area, but in doing so, it will be less detailed than the map of the smaller area with the smaller scale. A larger scale has many more cm in the real world equals 1 cm on the map than a smaller scale one. eg a map for walking could use 1:25,000 (1 cm = 25,000 cm → 1 cm = 0.25 km) whereas the "map" of a room would more likely use a smaller scale of 1:50 (1 cm = 50 cm → 1 cm = 0.5 m)
No, I have not used the Eurail itinerary planner to map out my European train journey.
A small area map.
Any number you like: the answer depends on how large you map is and how large an area you wish to cover in it.
Small scale maps can cover a large area of countryside, but can not show much fine detail due to lack of space available on the map's sheet. A motorist is likely to use a small scale map, as the motorist is likely to travel a long way. Large scale maps can show much more detail, but can only cover a small area of countryside. A walker is likely to use a large scale map, as the walker may not travel far, and may need to follow footpaths. Having field boundaries marked on the walker's map is a great help.
A large-scale map shows an area in more detail compared to a small-scale map. Large-scale maps depict smaller geographical areas with greater detail, allowing for the representation of features such as streets, buildings, and landmarks. In contrast, small-scale maps cover larger areas but provide less detail, focusing on broader geographical features.
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.
A large scale map (covers a small area) shows more detail as there is more space to show detail. A small scale map (covers a large area or even a whole country, etc) doesn't have much space, so any detail is either shrunk or even omitted altogether.
The usual cost for a eurail ticket depends greatly upon how far you need to travel. Rick steves website has an incredible map that tells not only the average cost of the most often traveled routes, but also how long they take.
If details are needed (larger) smaller or fewer details (small)

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. Individual streets would be easily seen, even individual buildings. A small scale map of the same area (southern California) may fit the boundaries of the city of Los Angeles within an area the size of your thumbnail.
An area code map of the US is available from allareacodes.com. Navigate to Area Code Map and at the bottom of the page there are large, printable versions of both the US and Canada maps.
