Digital Map Information

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
Louis Fayerweather Cutter (June 20, 1864 - June 26, 1945) was a Massachusetts based Civil Engineer. Cutter was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts and studied Civil Engineering at MIT. Cutter is best known for his contribution to the trail mapping of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Cutter was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Cutter specialized in maps of the White Mountains, which he made from 1885 to 1945. Cutter's first map, published in 1885, detailed King's Ravine, Mt. Adams, and Mt. Madison. He measured distances using a handmade odometer wheel crafted from a bicycle tire and took barometric readings to determine altitude. He eventually expanded his coverage to include all of the White Mountains, becoming the official cartographer of the Appalachian Mountain Club in 1907. His maps served as the definitive resource for trekkers in the White Mountains until his death in 1945. More by this mapmaker...
