The scale map was invented by the ancient Greeks in the 6th century BC. They developed a system for representing the Earth's curved surface on a flat plane using a grid of lines and a ratio scale to accurately depict distances.
The scale of a map determines how much real-world distance is represented by an inch on the map. For example, a map with a scale of 1:24,000 means that 1 inch on the map represents 24,000 inches or 2,000 feet in the real world.
The map scale indicated that 1 inch on the map represented 10 miles in real distance. The map scale helped us calculate the actual distance between two points on the map. It is important to always check the map scale before using the map for navigation to ensure accurate measurements.
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.
scale of the map. The scale of a map can be represented as a ratio, such as 1:10,000, indicating how much the distances on the map are reduced from the actual distances on the earth's surface.

No one invented America but, Christopher Colombus first charted it on a map.
The map needs a scale so that distances on the map can be worked out.
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 is a map with much more detail and focus in a particular area. For example, a map of a neighborhood or street compared to a small scale map, a map of Europe.
