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.

Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack.

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 S
Thomas J. Montgomery (June 8, 1864 - April 18, 1958) was a surveyor and civil engineer active in Trinity County, California in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Montgomery was born in Ukiah, California and appears to have relocated to Trinity County by the early 1890s, received training as a surveyor and civil engineer, and started a family. Initially working as a contract surveyor for local mines, Montgomery also designed bridges across several creeks in the Trinity Alps region. He later (c. 1903) became the Country Surveyor of Trinity County and held that role until at least 1914. More by this mapmaker...
Henry Larkin Lowden (October 12, 1857 - November 16, 1935), also known as 'Hank,' was a surveyor active in Trinity County, California in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lowden was born, raised, and spent nearly his entire life in Weaverville. His parents would have been among the early American settlers to the region, who came in search of gold and associated opportunities. His father, William Spencer Lowden (1830 - 1912), was also a surveyor and trained his son in the profession, with them operating for a time as 'W.S. Lowden and Son.' They primarily conducted surveys for mines in the region but were also involved in larger-scale surveys, including (with Jno. Johnson) an 1894 'Official Map of Trinity County' (Rumsey 2523.000).
