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.
Delivery
Once you purchase our digital scan service, you will receive a download link via email - usually within seconds. Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack. Some of our files are very large, and can take some time to download. Most files are saved into your computer's 'Downloads' folder. All delivery is electronic. No physical product is shipped.

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.

U.S. Army Forces, Pacific (AFPAC; 1945-46) under the command of Gen. Douglas MacArthur was the contingent of the U.S. Army created in April 1945, splitting off from the earlier South West Pacific Area command, also under MacArthur. Before the atomic bombings and Japan's surrender, it was anticipated that the troops necessary for an invasion of Japan would necessitate additional command structures. In the event, the new command primarily focused on occupation, disarmament, and reconstruction operations. More by this mapmaker...
29th Engineering Battalion (1917 – 2007), known as the Wayfinders, are a unit of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers tasked with topographic surveying. Formed during World War I, the 29th Engineering Regiment (later Battalion) conducted surveying for the proposed Nicaragua Canal. In the mid-20th century, when the U.S. military was producing maps at a tremendous pace, it was involved with the great undertaking of mapping the world's potential and real battlefields. The Battalion was distinct from but closely related to the Army Map Service and the U.S. Geological Survey. Learn More...
