Map scale is ALWAYS shown on a map. Shown below is a British M726, 1:50,000 scale map with the ratio and scale lines shown. Estimating and measuring distance. As maps show a grid and have scale lines, it is possible to estimate or measure distances for use on the ground or on a map.
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. To determine the total distance, add the distance measured on the map to the distance given in the marginal notes.
