There are two types of map scales, bar and lexical, but bar scales are used more frequently because they represent the distance ratio visually instead of in words, as is the case with lexical scales
There are three ways to show the scale of a map: graphic (or bar), verbal, and representative fraction. Graphic scales, also know as bar scales, as indicated by the name, show the scale graphically. Bar scale showing graphically the ratio of map units to ground units.
