To measure a distance on a map that exceeds its length, you can use a piece of string or a flexible measuring tool to trace the route along the map. Mark where the string overlaps and then measure the length of the string using a ruler. Alternatively, if the map has a scale, you can calculate the distance in segments, measuring each segment separately and then summing them up. This way, you can accurately determine the total distance despite the map's limitations.
Multiply distance by the scale bar
I would use the odometer on my car. If that does not help I would use a map and a ruler and measure it to scale.
A map scale lets you convert map distance to ground distance.

The "scale" of a map tells you how the map displays the actual distance.

Measuring the distance on a map on a scale bar is easy. t is a tool called divider.

The map scale is a part of the map that is used to measure distance. The map scale can often be found in or around the map legend.
distance
To measure distance using a topographic map, you can use the map's scale. First, determine the scale of the map, such as 1:24,000. Then, use a ruler to measure the distance on the map between two points that you want to calculate the actual distance for. Convert the measured distance on the map to the actual distance using the map scale.
