suurimittakaavat

Suurimittakaavat refers to large-scale maps or cartographic representations. These are maps that depict a relatively small area of land with a high degree of detail. Typically, maps with a scale of 1:24,000 or larger (meaning 1 unit on the map represents 24,000 or fewer units in reality) are considered suurimittakaavat. Examples include topographic maps, city plans, and cadastral maps. The purpose of suurimittakaavat is to provide precise information about features such as terrain, buildings, roads, property boundaries, and natural elements within a limited geographic scope. They are essential tools for various applications, including urban planning, land management, engineering, surveying, and recreation. The detailed nature of these maps allows for accurate measurements and spatial analysis, making them invaluable for decision-making and fieldwork. Compared to small-scale maps, which show vast areas with less detail, suurimittakaavat offer a much closer view of the Earth's surface.
