The smaller scale map is the 1 inch to 200 miles scale.
Depends on the scale of the map. If the map were printed on a postcard, one inch would be many miles. If it was printed on poster-board, one inch would be less distance.
Only if each of the other maps is to the same scale as your example one. If not... no!
it is only to scale. if it says on the map that one inch is one mile, then it is a mile in real life.
1000
Different maps have different "scales." If you have a map that says one inch to one mile, you are looking at a large scale map. If you know for a fact that the scale is wrong...that one inch (on the map) does not equal one mile (on the earth), then you should contact the publishing company for the map.
Different maps will have different map scales on them. If a map has a scale where one inch is equal to 800 miles, it is not a very detailed map.
The map scale represents the ratio of the map to the real thing. For example, a map scale might say that 1 inch equals 1 mile. That would mean that every inch on the map represents a mile for the real thing.
Map scale is a way of representing actual distance in relation to a map. For example, a distance of 1 inch on the map may be equal to 10 actual miles.
A map with 2000 miles per inch would cram more things into the inch than one that uses 1 inch for 1000 miles. So the map with the scale of 1 inch for 1000 miles would show more detail.
No one inch on am map is not a mile reason is because not all maps are made in scale EX: say you have a huge map and a small map one inch on the big map might be a mile but you should check the scale on the small map if used the same scale could tell you it's one mile form Chicago to New York City
To find how far an inch is on a map, look for the map scale. It will indicate how many miles is in an inch.
2.54 centimeters equals one inch anywhere.
1,000 miles
In many cases it indicates how many miles in one inch.
Any map drawn to scale will show the distance.The scale will usually be displayed on the bottom right corner of the map.For example, the scale may be 1 inch equals 1 mile. So for every inch on the map it relates to 1 mile in the real world.
A precis map is a map that gives a limited amount of detailed information. One example of a precis map would be a state map that only shows bodies of water within the state.
