Any scale can be used for a map, but a few common scales have been settled on for use by most organizations:
Weigh Scales Health Food Store Guide.and much much more Why List These Locations? They do not support us and we do not endorse or support these truck stops in any way.

The smaller the number on the bottom of the map scale, the more detailed the map will be. A 1:10,000 map will show objects 100 times as large as a 1:100,000 map but will only show 1/100th the land area on the same sized piece of paper.
Here is an example of a Bar Scale found on a map. The scale shows that about 1.25 inches equals 5 miles. The smaller increments to the left of zero are each 1 mile and are used to estimate smaller distances. Notice the scale is 1/250000 - that means 1 inch on the map is equal to 250,000 inches on the real land. (5 miles = 5*5280 feet = 5*5280*12 inches = 316800 inches. 316800 inches / 250000 = 1.27 inches)
By including a map scale like the image above, if the map is photocopied and reduced in size, the scale can still be used. Otherwise, 1 inch would no longer equal what it should.
