    At lower latitudes, near 30° north, a 7.5-minute quadrangle contains an area of about 64 square miles (166 km 2). At 49° north latitude, 49 square miles (127 km 2) are contained within a quadrangle of that size. As a unique non-metric map scale, the 1:24,000 scale naturally requires a separate and specialized romer scale for plotting map ...
