The following exercises will help develop those skills @) A river segment is shown on a topographic map as being 3.5 inches long How long in miles) is that segment if the map scale is 1:24,000 1-62,500 1:100,000 (b) A stretch of shoreline is 20 miles long. How long would it appear on a map at a scale of 1:24,000 162,500 1:100,000 (c) What scale would you use to mapecollege quadrangte 300 feetfong by 200 feet wide so that it fits as much as possible of *3*5'index cord? 5x index card? .8 *sheet of paper
