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
C.H. Ruth (19xx - 19xx) was a cartographer and mapmaker active in the early to mid-20th century in the American West. Three pictorial maps of northern Colorado are known to have been created by Ruth and issued in 1939, 1940, and 1941 and focus on the region around Rocky Mountain National Park and the town of Estes Park. We have also found a source that credits a 'C.H. Ruth' for creating 'single sheet topographic maps' of national forests for the U.S. Forest Service. However, that source states that Ruth 'could not be found in Forest Service directories or in Polk's city directories of Missoula, Montana or Washington, D.C.' That source also speculates that since most of the maps created by C.H.Ruth were of forests in Idaho, that Ruth may have been based in Idaho. More by this mapmaker...
