Map Scale ConverterCartography & GIS

Convert representative fractions to paper and real-world distances or bar scales.

GIS Parameters
Scale Representative Fraction Denominator1 : 24,000

Cartographic and geodesic transforms approximate localized ellipsoidal models. Real GIS engines require projection matrices such as NAD83/UTM or local state planes.
