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
Homer Hamlin (August 27, 1864 - May 14, 1920) was an American civil engineer. Born in Pine Island, Minnesota, Hamlin attended public schools in Minnesota and spent one year enrolled at a college in Rochester, Minnesota. He moved to San Diego, California, at the age of 22 and began working in the city engineering department. After 'some time' there he moved on to work in private engineering firms. Hamlin moved to Los Angeles in 1894 and worked in the County Surveyor department and the City Engineer department for the next 7 years. He was appointed Chief Deputy of Field Forces, City Engineer, in January 1899, and held that position for three years. Hamlin joined the United States Reclamation Service in 1901 and worked as an engineer on the construction of the Laguna Dam across the Colorado River. He returned to working for the city of Los Angeles in August 1906 when he was named City Engineer of Los Angeles, a position he held until July 1917. As City Engineer, Hamlin supervised numerous construction projects, served on the Aqueduct, and completed the Outfall Sewer, a series of tunnels in water bearing formation. The City of Los Angeles acquired a strip of land that connected Los Angeles with San Pedro and Wilmington in 1909. Known as the 'Shoe String', Hamlin tirelessly campaigned for the land acquisition. Impressively, Hamlin largely taught himself engineering. He died in Washington, D.C. while serving as a delegate of the Association of Water Users of the Salt River Valley. More by this mapmaker...
