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
Jackson Clifford MacDonald (October 12, 1901 - August 16, 1963) was an American businessman and philanthropist. Born in Alexandria, Virginia, MacDonald spent his childhood traveling the United States with his widowed mother, Edwina DeVin MacDonald, who was a writer. He attended Columbia University where he studied journalism. After graduating from Columbia, he found a job as a reporter for the New York Daily News. Not long afterward he moved to Florida where he worked at the Tampa Tribune, the St. Petersburg Times, and the St. Petersburg Independent. He started and published The Spectator in St. Petersburg for a few years before founding the MacDonald Printing Company in Tampa in 1926. MacDonald managed the MacDonald Printing Company until he suffered a debilitating stroke in 1959. In 1953 MacDonald founded a center for educating handicapped children, which became a model for similar centers nationwide. His work with handicapped children (his son, George McDonald, was handicapped) earned him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963. More by this mapmaker...
