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.

Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack. Some of our files are very large, and can take some time to download. Most files are saved into your computer's 'Downloads' folder. All delivery is electronic. No physical product is shipped.

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.

New South Wales Department of Lands (c. 1880 – 2008) was the land management bureaucracy of the New South Wales government. It played a critical role in the development of the colony (or state, after 1901), allocating land to immigrants and managing the natural resources of the area. Even today, more than half of the land in New South Wales is 'crown land,' either protected land or lands with public use, such as airports or military bases. In recent years, moves have been made to restructure the bureaucracy and sell more crown lands for development purposes. Over the course of its existence, the Department published thousands of maps.

The New South Wales Bookstall Company (1879 – 1957), often stylized as NSW Bookstall Company, started as a string of bookstalls at railway stations, founded by Henry Lloyd. After some forays into publishing under Llyod, the company began publishing on a mass scale under a new owner, A.C. Rowlandson, at the end of the 19th century. True to the company's origins, their publications were mainly intended for a mass market, richly illustrated and portable for ease of use by travelers and commuters. Rowlandson was credited with importing a wide range of foreign books and newspapers while also promoting Australian authors, to the point that he and his company played an important part in the formation of a national identity. The company declined after Rowlandson's death and the company had stopped publishing new titles by the late 1940s; its distribution and bookstall operations ended in 1959. Learn More...
