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
Earl Crabb (September 6, 1941 - February 20, 2015) was an American artist, photographer, computer programmer, and jack-of-all-trades. Born in Le Sueur, Minnesota, Crabb graduated from William College in 1964 where he studied economics. A pioneering computer programmer, Crabb designed the first on-line banking programs for Bank of America and the first touch screen program for a Candian tourist bureau among other projects. He was a beloved figure of the 1960s traditional and folk music scene in San Francisco, where he was known as a photographer, producer, and organizer. From 1968 until his death, Crabb owned and operated Humbead Enterprises which created and published posters (including the celebrated 'Humbead's Revised Map of the World' which he created with Rick Shubb) and distributed books by David Goines. He was married to Giselle Shepatin. More by this mapmaker...
Richard 'Rick' Shubb (b. January 11, 1945) is an American inventor, musician, and graphic artist. Born in Oakland, California, Shubb began playing the 5-string banjo at the age of 14. He graduated from Oakland Technical High School in 1962. He soon began playing folk music in coffeehouses and taverns in Berkeley and San Francisco and played with celebrated musicians, including Doc Watson, David Grisman, and Jerry Garcia. He was also a charter member of High Country, one of San Francisco's most venerable bluegrass bands. Shubb invented the very popular guitar and banjo accessory the Shubb Capo, for which he holds the patent. He also holds several other U.S. and international patents on musical instrument accessories and improvements, including the lever-operated banjo fifth string capo and the compensated banjo bridge. Shubb is also known as a graphic artist. During the 1960s he drew posters for one of San Francisco's hip rock palaces, the Carousel Ballroom. A handful of his posters are included in the book The Art of Rock, considered to be the definitive work on rock posters. He also created the popular poster 'Humbead's Map of the World', which is regarded as an integral part of the folk-rock culture of the 1960s. Shubb is currently the owner and operator of his own company, Shubb Capos. Learn More...
