• what, where, and when
• Legend
• No need to label it Legend. Everyone will know
  what it is (this eliminates chart junk)

Map scales

• Lecture 3

15
Map scales

• Map scale ratios
• Dimensionless
• Used with any linear measurement unit, such as
  feet, meters, or miles
• Example, 124,000
• Representative fraction
• 1 inch on the map is 24,000 inches on the ground
  (or 2,000 feet)

16
Map scales

• Graphic scale
• Graphic representation of map scale
• Places a line on the map with ground distances
  marked, such as 10 miles, 20 miles, etc.

17
Map scales

• 15,000 is large scale

150,000,000 is small scale
