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)
