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
Daniel Glover Beers (October 19, 1841 - February 12, 1913) was an American farmer, surveyor, and mapmaker active in Connecticut. He is the brother of Silas Norman Beers (September 3, 1837 - May 12, 1873), son of Charles Henry Beers (November 3, 1813 - March 5, 1892), and nephew of Frederick William Beers (August 17, 1839 - September 8, 1933), all prominent mapmakers. D. G. Beer's name appears on the imprint of several Beers maps, including the large 1860 wall map of Philadelphia and vicinity, with Dunning Jackson Lake (1836 - 1915). In 1865 he partnered with one 'Pomeroy' of Rochester, New York to publish an Atlas of Delaware under the imprint of 'Pomeroy and Beers'. This business dissolved in 1880, after which he published independently as 'D. G. Beers and Co.' In the same year he patented a folding canvas canopy for covered wagons, a business that became extremely prosperous. More by this mapmaker...
