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
Albert G. Thurston (c. 1880 - 1930) was a publisher of maps and directories based in Los Angeles and Pasadena, California. The details of Thurston's life are uncertain, partly because several Albert Thurstons lived in the Los Angeles area at the same time. His name appeared in Pasadena city directories (some of which he published) between 1903 and 1929. Thurston published maps and other works under his name, but usually also in conjunction with the Western Map and Publishing Co., which he likely headed. Early in his career, he joined Charles Morris and other partners to form the Morris-Thurston Company, a stationary printer. Thurston looks to have lived and been based in Pasadena but also occasionally appears in records as residing in Los Angeles, where the Western Map and Publishing Co. was based until about 1915. In addition to Los Angeles and Pasadena, Thurston also published maps and directories related to the 'inland empire,' especially Riverside County, and, once it was created in 1907, Imperial County.
