If you were designing a map of your own city would you let 1 inch equal one fourth mile 40 miles or 400 miles why?

Even the very largest of cities would not measure 40 miles from one side to the other.
Therefore a scale of 1 inch to 40 miles would compress the city map into an area the size of a postage stamp. A scale of 1 inch to 400 miles would make it extremely tiny.
A fairly large city could be 15 miles from one side to the other. With a scale of 1 inch to 2 miles the map may just fit on an A4 sheet of paper. 1 inch to 1 mile would fit A3.
1 inch to 1/4 mile would require 16 sheets of A3 which would be unwieldy.
Depending on the size of the city and size of the paper on which you wish to print the map it looks as though a scale of 1 inch to 3/4 mile or 1inch to 1 mile would be preferable.

If you were designing a map of your city would you let 1 inch equal 1 mile 100 miles or 500 miles Why?
1 inch would equal one mile because no city is 100 miles. so the map would be a fraction of an inch and that would be hard to read :P same with 500 miles. Hi CVMS!!!
If you were designing a city would you let 1 inch equal 1 mile 100 miles or 500 miles?
Personally, I would use metric measures, but if you still use Imperial measures, then 1 inch to 1 mile is best.
