What The Scale of Maps Says About An Area

The difference between Large Scale Maps and Small scale maps:

• Small Scale Maps focus more on one specific area. For example they might show where a tree or park is in a city.
• Large-scale Maps are less specific. They might show where a city is or a body of water is.

Different ways Maps can Represent Information

• We use maps to show us where things are in the world.
• We also use maps to show us data based on where its from.
• Maps can represent information by showing us where to go, like the different highways to take to get to our destination. This is called a road map.
• Maps can also show us landmarks to show us what our surroundings are. These might show us how far away we are.
• Cadastral Charts can show us who owns what.
• Thematic maps can tell us about the weather and voting results.
• Some maps can guide us where not to go, like steep slopes and rivers.
• Sea routes can also be shown.
