prepare map scales

http://raider.muc.edu/~mcnaugma/Topographic Maps/map_scale.h...
These scales can be verbal, fractional, see information for verbal scale:
VERBAL SCALE
The simplest form of map scale is a VERBAL SCALE. A verbal scale just states what distance on a map is equal to what distance on the ground, i.e. 1 inch = 10 miles from our example above. Though verbal scales are easy to understand, you usually will not find them printed on topographic maps. Instead our second type of scale is used.
