The verbal scale is a sentence that relates distance on the map to distance on Earth. Also called a bar scale, it is simply a horizontal line marked off in miles, kilometers, or some other unit measuring distance. The most common type of graphic scale looks like a ruler. This relationship can be expressed by a graphic scale, a verbal scale, or a representative fraction. A map’s scale indicates the relationship between the distances on the map and the actual distances on Earth. Scale All maps are scale models of reality. Some common features of maps include scale, symbols, and grids.

Mapmakers, called cartographers, create maps for many different purposes. They can show exact locations of houses and streets in a city neighborhood. Maps can show distributions of things over Earth, such as settlement patterns. They teach about the world by showing sizes and shapes of countries, locations of features, and distances between places. Maps present information about the world in a simple, visual way.
