They are drawn to scale because it helps to find the correct distance between two places and also the distance to reach a place from ur position.....
There are three main types of maps according to scale: small scale maps, medium scale maps, and large scale maps. Small scale maps show a large area with less detail, medium scale maps cover a moderate area with more detail, and large scale maps provide detailed information for a small area.
a plan generally works using a smaller scale while a map uses a larger scale as it generally covers larger areas. a plan is a true scale scale representation while a map is drawn such that some features on it cannot be drawn to scale. on a map many features are represented as symblos and generalization is carried out reasulting in changes in scale and displacement of features. e.g on a 1:1 million map, rivers and roads may be shown but they cannot be drawn to scale. a 5m road would be 0.005mm wide if drawn according to scale. plans tend to be for a single or few applications while maps cover a large vary of uses e.g in exploration, military, reacreation, geological, navigation e.t.c
If details are needed (larger) smaller or fewer details (small)
Maps can be classified into three main scale types: large-scale, medium-scale, and small-scale. Large-scale maps show a smaller area with greater detail, making them useful for local navigation. Medium-scale maps provide a balance between detail and area coverage, suitable for regional studies. Small-scale maps cover larger areas with less detail, typically used for broader overviews, such as world maps.
Maps can be classified based on various criteria, including scale, purpose, and content. Scale distinguishes maps as large-scale (detailed) or small-scale (broad overview). Purpose categorizes them into thematic maps (focused on specific topics), topographic maps (detailed terrain features), and navigational maps (for navigation and travel). Content can further divide maps into physical maps (showing natural features) and political maps (showing boundaries and human-made divisions).
blue prints and maps :P
a location drawn to scale
1:25,000 OR 1:50000
A map drawn actual size wouldn't be too convenient. Plus ... can you imagine trying to fold it ! ?
It depends on the scale to which the map has been drawn. Not all maps are the same scale.
The nouns in the sentence are:maps, subject of the sentence;scale, object of the preposition 'to'.

In terms of cartography: Sketch (maps): Roughly drawn maps which may be inaccurate but can be quickly created. Maps: Should be accurate. Can be any scale. Features are drawn in their true position (within limitations of scale). Can be topographic; thematic; political etc. Diagrams: a cross-section etc. (aerial) Photograph: can look accurate but will be at different scales in various parts of the map because of distance from camera and pitch & yaw of aircraft. Plans: very Large Scale maps showing lots of detail. maybe of a single site.
Large scaleadj 1. wide-ranging or extensive2. (of maps and models) constructed or drawn to a big scalescale - a relative degree or extent.

Large scale maps are enlarged maps to show cities and sometimes small towns. Small scale maps are maps shrunken down only to show countries and continents. -The person-
