On a map, a scale of 1 centimetre typically represents a specific distance in the real world, which can vary based on the map's scale. For example, if the scale is 1:100,000, then 1 centimetre on the map represents 100,000 centimetres in reality, or 1 kilometre. To determine the exact distance, you need to check the map's scale.

What is a small map scale?

The scale of a map tells you how much real distance is represented by the units of measurement.... 1 centimetre = 1 kilometre; 1 inch = 1 mile; etc. So a map which was 10 cm x 10 cm would represent an actual area of 10 km x 10 km. If that map hadn't enough room for all the details I wanted to see, I'd have to go for a larger scale map were 1 cm = 0.5 kilometres. In this case a 10cm x 10 cm map would have a 'real' area of 5 kilimetres by 5 kilometres.... one-quarter the area covered in the first map, but in larger details. Small scale map therefore refers to a map where a real distance is represented by a very small unit.

How many kilometres does 4 centimetres represent on a map?

You will have to check the legend of the map to determine what the ratio of Centimeters to Kilometers on your particular map is. Maps come in different sizes and ratios. The ratio is usually found somewhere at the bottom of the map. For example: 10 centimeters could mean 10 kilometers on one map and 100 kilometers on another map.
