In order to do this, measure the distance from the start point to the edge of the map. The marginal notes give the road distance from the edge of the map to some towns, highways, or junctions off the map.
Performance Steps. 1. Identify the scale of the map. The map scale is the ratio (1:50,000) of the distance on map (1 inch) relative to the distance on the ground (usually 50,000 inches). 2. Convert a straight-line map distance to miles, meters, or yards using the map's bar scale (Figure 071-329-1008-1). Figure 1.
There are two ways to do this: (1) Comparison with Ground Distance. (a) Measure the distance between two points on the map—map distance (MD). (b) Determine the horizontal distance between these same two points on the ground—ground distance (GD). (c) Use the RF formula and remember that RF must be in the general form: RF. =
