What is the standard scale on a USGS map?

Re: GeoLogic Mapping C
Sediment deposits horizontally, chronologically, bottom to top. In other words, rock layers on the bottom are older than rock layers on top (barring any events that change the scene).

There is A) a bed of native rock, B) a dike running through it, and C) a weird patch of rock surrounding the dike, separating it from the native rock. Label A, B, and C by rock type (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic)?
