What it means is that one inch on the map represents 24,000 inches on the ground. Or one centimeter on the map represents 24,000 centimeters on the ground (or any other unit you want to choose). Below the ratio scale is a graphic scale representing distance in miles, feet and meters. The graphic scale can be used to make fast estimates of distances on the map.
How to calculate slope from a contour map. Select an area on the map where you want to know the degrees of slope. Find the run or horizontal ground distance. Lay a ruler crossing exactly perpendicular to the contour lines and measure the distance. Convert the distance to metres.Find the rise or vertical distance.Identify the elevation of the first and the last contour line on your line. Subtract one from the other to find the rise in metres.onvert the distance to metres. Find the rise or vertical distance. Identify the elevation of the first and the last contour line on your line. Subtract one from the other to find the rise in metres.
