It's your unit of measurement, usually an inch. For example, if your U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) map has a scale of 1:24,000, it means that one inch on the map is equal to 24,000 inches (2000 feet or 609.6 meters) in the real world.

Your map's scale legend will always be at the bottom. For USGS topographic maps, 1:24,000 is the scale most often used.
