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 S
Courtland Elmer Smith (December 3, 1907 - March 4, 2005) was an American architect, illustrator, and designer. He was born in Southampton, New York, the son of Elmer Smith, then village mayor. Smith studied at the University of Pennsylvania, attaining a degree in architecture in 1929, just in time for Black Tuesday. Smith worked on and off during Great Depression. In 1933, he worked with friend Richard 'Dick' Foster to compile a pictorial map of Long Island. As the Great Depression eased, Smith got more and more architecture work, becoming known for a clean uncluttered style. His work took him all over the world, and includes Houston Astrodome, the Distant Early Warning (DEW Line) radar defense system in the Arctic, and foreign aid projects for the U.S. Agency for International Development. After living abroad for many years, he returned to his native Southampton in 1966. He remained there in his family home until his death in 2005.

George Charles Miller (June 17, 1894 - October 21, 1965) was an American lithographer and publisher. He was born in New York City into a commercial printing family, and began his apprenticeship in the family business at 15. He completed his apprenticeship at the American Lithographic Company. Miller served in World War I. He is notable for having recognized early on the value of printing for artists, and would eventually print exclusively for artists: one of only a few American printers to do so. Not only did he print artists' work, but he also trained artists (Ruth Haviland Sutton among them) in the craft of lithography. He was married to Carrie Scharsmith Miller, and lived most of his life in Lynbrook, Long Island, New York. He also had a home in Burlington, Vermont, where he died of a heart attack in 1965. Miller's son, Burris G. Miller (1928 - 2017) took over the business, until retiring in 1994. Learn More...
