A graphic scale is one type of map scale, which tells you how distance on the map compares to the actual distance across the land. Graphic scales show the scale as a line or a bar with the distance markings on them.
Other types of map scales include numeric (such as 1:24,000 means one inch on the map represents 24,000 inches on land), or verbal (1 inch=1 mile).
