At a scale where the typical building is as large as the fingernail on your pinkie (roughly 1"=100') the 8 mile city would fit on a map roughly 35 feet x 35 feet. This is about the scale that the detailed 'villages' are drawn at.

At 4 buildings per pinkie nail (roughly 1"=200') the 8 mile city would fit on a map roughly 18 feet x 18 feet. This is about the scale that modern city atlases (like for utility design) are drawn at.

At 100 buildings per pinkie nail (roughly 1"=1000') the buildings are dots and the roads are lines and the 8 mile city would fit on a map roughly 3.5 feet x 3.5 feet. This is about the scale that modern city road maps are drawn at.

These are just very rough figures to give some idea of scale. As a practical matter, cities and towns are comprised of neighborhoods of about 500 people each, so one could have a 1"=2000' map (2' x 2') of the whole city and a 1"=200' map of the neighborhood where most of the action takes place.
