1:50,000. This means that 1 unit measured on the map represents 50,000 units in the real world. So if you measure 1 cm on the map, then it represents 50000 cm, which is 500 meters or 0.5 km. So 2 cm on the map represents 1 km.
If you measure 1 inch on the map, then that represents 50,000 inches, which is about 4167 feet or 0.79 miles.

MaxineA 1 to 50,000 scale map means that one unit on the map represents 50,000 of the same units on the ground. For example, one centimeter on the map would represent 50,000 centimeters (500 meters) on the ground. The physical size of the map would depend on the area covered by it but is typically larger than a regular piece of paper.

What size is a 1 in 50000 scale map?
The scale doesn't tell you anything about the size of a map. If it's a 1:50000 scale, then the only thing you know about the map is that a pair of points that are 1 inch apart on the map are 50,000 inches apart in the real world.
What size is a 1 and 50000 scale map?
A 1:50,000 scale map represents a much larger area than a 1:1 scale map. To determine the size in real life, you would need to know the dimensions of the map itself.
What size is a map with a 175000 scale?
On 1:175,000 scale map one cm on the map represents 175,000 cm or 1.75 km (~1 mile).
