Jun 26, 2017 at 13:37 comment added user30184 And this blog considers 1 mm as smallest detectable size blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2010/12/12/…. It would mean 5000 m at scale 1:5000000 (I dropped one zero from my comment above when writing).
Jun 26, 2017 at 13:12 comment added radouxju @user30184 0.1 mm is quite optimistic, I would rather expect 0.3 mm

Jun 26, 2017 at 12:59 comment added user2821 Yes, that would be the best case scenario. Unfortunately, I think my useful resolution is much lower as the polygons have rather sparse vertices and appear more angular than I would expect from natural, e.g. meteorological, data. I also don't have access to the original maps, I should mention.
Jun 26, 2017 at 8:55 comment added user30184 I would say that at least vertices can only be accurate to 0.1 mm on the paper which means 500 m at scale 1:500000. Above that it may be very hard to say what is the effect of simplification and other factors especially if the original map was hand drawn.
