Distances on a map are typically represented using a scale, which can be expressed in various forms, such as a ratio, a graphical scale bar, or written in units like miles or kilometers. For instance, a scale of 1:100,000 means that 1 unit on the map equals 100,000 of the same units in reality. This helps users understand how far apart locations are in the real world based on the map's representation. Additionally, contour lines may indicate elevation changes, further aiding in understanding distances and terrain.
