Digital Map Information

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
George Frederick Wright (April 23, 1881 - July 2, 1938) was an American surveyor, businessman, and politician. Born in Honolulu, Wright attended the Old Fort Street School and Honolulu High School and graduated in 1898. Soon after graduating, Wright joined the government survey department and while there earned a reputation as being among the best surveyors in Hawaii. Wright left his position as a government surveyor in 1909 and started his own engineering firm. He founded the firm of Wright, Harvey, and Wright, in 1917, with his brother Stanley Wright and Fred R. Harvey. This firm completed the survey of the Parker ranch property on Hawaii and the survey of the island of Lanai, completed in 1925. Wright was also very active in Hawaiian politics. He was appointed to the Honolulu sewer and water commission and served from 1925 until 1931. Wright was elected to the board of supervisors for the city and county of Honolulu in 1926 and reelected in 1928. He was then elected Mayor of Honolulu in 1930 and served until his death in 1938. Wright died aboard the ocean liner Mariposa on his way back to Honolulu from Auckland, New Zealand, where he had gone in an effort to improve his failing health. Wright married May Martha Lycett on September 11, 1905, with whom he had one child. More by this mapmaker...
