Digital Map Information
Geographicus maintains an archive of high-resolution rare map scans. We scan our maps at 300 DPI or higher, with newer images being 600 DPI, (either TIFF or JPEG, depending on when the scan was done) which is most cases in suitable for enlargement and printing.

How Large Can I Print?
In general, at 300 DPI, you should at least be able to double the size of the actual image, more so with our 600 DPI images. So, if the original was 10 x 12 inches, you can print at 20 x 24 inches, without quality loss. If your display requirements can accommodate some loss in image quality, you can make it even larger. That being said, no quality of scan will allow you to blow up at 10 x 12 inch map to wall size without significant quality loss. For more information, it is best consult a printer or reprographics specialist.
Refunds
If the high resolution image you ordered is unavailable, we will fully refund your purchase. Otherwise, digital images scans are a service, not a tangible product, and cannot be returned or refunded once the download link is used.
Cartographer
Alva Scott Garfield (1902 – 1993), a.k.a. Alva Scott Mitchell, was a New England based writer, academic, and artist active in the middle part of the 20th century. Garfield graduated from Wellesley College. She also attended Radcliffe College in the late 1920s. Her first map appears to have been the Newe Mapp of Wellesley, published in 1926, and described as 'so delightful that every Wellesley and Dana girl will surely want one.' From about 1949, Garfield produced a series of whimsical pictorial maps, referred to collectively as 'Scott-Maps,' of various Mid-Atlantic and New England locations, including Harvard, Boston, Concord, Salem, Cape Code, Maine, and New Jersey.
