Solution

The map with a scale of 1:3,000 will offer more detail. The smaller the number after the colon, the more detailed the map. This is because the scale of a map is a ratio that represents the distance on the map as compared to the actual distance on the ground. So, a scale of 1:3,000 means that 1 unit (like an inch or a centimeter) on the map represents 3,000 of those same units on the ground. Therefore, a map with a scale of 1:3,000 will show more detail than a map with a scale of 1:250,000.
