1 50000 Scale Map

1 50000 Scale Map. The area covered by a given mapsheet is determined by its location in Canada. A 1:50,000 scale can be read as 1 unit of distance on the map representing 50,000 units of the same distance in the real world

(Therefore 2 mm on the map represents 100 metres and 2 cm a kilometre). The actual distance in cm is \(12 \times 50000 = 600000~cm\)
