UK Ordnance Survey offers a popular map series with a scale of 1:50 000 (one to fifty thousand) which means that 1 centimetre on the map represents 50,000 centimetres on the ground. On older maps, the scale may be given as 1" to 1 mile (one inch to one mile).

Look in the corners of the map and you'll usually find the scale for that map in one or more.

1:500,000 means that 1 unit on the map equals 500,000 of those units in real.

The map scale is not measured. It is determined by the map projection used, and ultimately by the cartographer who makes the map.

The scale of the map should be printed somewhere on the map.
