• Location-scale transformation Through application of a linear transformation, we can easily shift the center of the distribution and affect the divergence from its mean.
  • T scale (1:450), a.k.a. T Gauge, is a model railroad scale with a standard gauge of 3 millimeters. It was introduced at the Tokyo Toy Show in 2006 by Eishindo of Japan, and went on sale in 2007. It is presently the smallest commercial model train scale in the world. The models are powered with 4,5V DC. To improve power pickup the motorcars are fitted with magnetic wheels, the motor is located.

Any scale can be used for a map, but a few common scales have been settled on for use by most organizations:

  • 1:24,000 - primary scaled used by USGS for mapping the United States in topographic form. 1 inch on the map equals 24000 inches in the real world, which is the same as 2,000 feet. This scale is used on the over 54,000 quadrangle maps covering the entire country. They are also called 7.5 minute quadrangles because the area covered by one map is 7.5 minutes of latitude high by 7.5 minutes of longitude wide on paper that is about 29 inches high and 22 inches wide.
  • 1:63,360 - 1 inch equals 1 mile
  • 1:50,000
  • 1:250,000
  • 1:1,000,000

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.

.A large scale map shows greater detail because the scale is a larger fraction than a small scale map.

T Location Scale Distribution

Large scale maps have a scale of 1:50,000 or greater (1:24,000, 1:10,000, ...).
ScaleMaps with scales from 1:50,000 to 1:250,000 are considered intermediate.
Small scale maps are those with scales smaller than 1:250,000. A map of the world that fits on two pages of letter sized paper would be very small scale with a scale of around 1:100,000,000.

Pretty nice infomation that you have presented to us. Thankyou

How about a metric map of 1:25,000 scale; 1 cm on the map is 25,000 cm (250 meters) on the ground.

T Location Scale Distribution

The Map Scales page states, '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.' The 1/100th area figure is correct, but the 100 times as large should be 10 times as large. The difference is due to linear vs. area measures. To change from 10,000 to 100,000 requires multiplying by a factor of 10. Of course 10^2 = 100 so ten times longer each direction is 100 times the area.

Matt, I believe you have interpreted 'large' to mean a linear measurement whereas the author presumably was thinking of a two dimensional 'object' where 'large' was referring to the area of the object. So the ambiguity allows you both to be correct.
