When reading a map, first look at the legend to understand the symbols used on the map and their meanings. Next, examine the scale to understand the relationship between distances on the map and in reality.
To find out how far an inch on a map represents in actual distance, you would need to look for the map's scale. The scale of a map indicates the ratio between a unit of length on the map and the corresponding distance on the ground. Typically, the scale is provided in the map's legend or key. By using this scale, you can calculate the actual distance represented by an inch on the map.
You can look for a map legend or key, typically found in a corner of the map, to help you understand the symbols used on the map. The legend will explain what each symbol represents, such as roads, landmarks, or other features. If the legend is not available, you can also check the map's accompanying guide or legend online for clarification.
mental map.. :)
Cartography is indeed the science or art of map-making. Carte in French means both chart ( in some cases menu) and a Map. Cartographers are map-makers. Some newspapers have staff cartographers.

The map's legend will tell you this information. You will find this in a box somewhere on or beside the map.
