Representation of a scale on a map
1. Verbal statement/scale
2. Linear scale
3. Representative Fraction
![Page 13: Elements of a map for 5th_djdhir](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a280341a28ab26408b478c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Verbal statement/scale
the scale is stated in words
For example: 1 cm: 100 kms
![Page 14: Elements of a map for 5th_djdhir](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a280341a28ab26408b478c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Linear scale
A straight line with uniformly space
divisions
![Page 15: Elements of a map for 5th_djdhir](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032615/55a280341a28ab26408b478c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Representative Fraction
RF SCALE
1 km. = 1000 m.
1cm = 100m.
Thus if 1 cm. = 1km.
Then, 1km = 100,000
Thus the RF is 1:100,000

1 cm= 2 km
1 cm= 3 km
1 cm= 6 km
1 cm= 9 km
1 cm=200 km
1 cm=5 km

Legends and keys
The legend on a map provides essential
information for the map reader.
It tells us what the symbols used on that map
mean and is one of the first things you should
look at on a map.
The legend tells us how to spot different types of
roads, lakes, rivers, county boundaries, railways
and much more.
