Part d-analyze & conclude: determining relative scale your grapefruit idea was so popular amongst your fellow teachers that they want you to branch out and do more! ideas were thrown around to create maps in various places throughout the school. ideas included in the small playground, on the basketball court, on the principal's desk, and others. in comparing relative scale size, geographers often refer to maps as small or large scale. small-scale maps have less detail of a larger area and large-scale maps have more detail of a smaller area, as shown in figure d1. • for example, an overview map of a city area compared to a map of one of its neighborhoods. • the overview map is relatively small scale and the neighborhood map of a small area within it would be considered a relatively large scale (see also figure d1 below). • in terms of actual numbers, a map scale of 1/500,000 is a rather large scale compared to a scale of 1 / 24,000. los angeles region downtown los angeles la cañada flintridge 110 w. 6th st burbank 7th st. pasadena glendale griffith park w. 8th st. v. 9th st beverly hills 101 (110 los angeles downtown map area microsoft theater fashion institute of design and merchandising s. spring st. staples s. figueroa st. main st. center s. flower st. grand ave. olive st. downtown pearson beverly hills theater los angeles downtown map area v. olympic blvd. fashion institute of design and merchandising s. spring staples s. figueroa st center smain st. pico blvd. s. flower st. s. grand ave. 405 s. olive st.
