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
James Buzzell Mann (September 25, 1892 – March 30, 1959) was an American civil engineer best known for designing the Ala Wai Canal and Kapiolani Boulevard in Hawaii. Born in Portland, Oregon, Mann graduated from Oregon State College (then known as Oregon Agricultural College) in 1912 with a degree in mechanical engineering. After spending a summer working as a dock foreman, Mann continued his education by studying hydraulic engineering at the University of Wisconsin. After accepting a job to work on drainage and development in the Everglades, he moved to Florida in 1913. He returned to Oregon State for a winter of graduate work in highway engineering in 1915, and then decided to visit a friend who had moved to Hawaii. He bought a $40 rail and ship fare ticket, which included meals. The journey ended in Hilo via Corvallis, Portland, Astoria, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Mann soon found a job as a surveyor and spend the ensuing forty years working on projects throughout the islands. It was during these early years in Hawaii that he designed the Ala Wai Canal and Kapiolani Boulevard. He soon moved on to a job with the U.S. Geological Survey, but when the U.S. entered World War I, he was sent to Virginia to train as a Army engineer. He never made it abroad, as he was on his way to Siberia when the war ended. He returned to Hawaii, only to find his job with the Geological Survey filled, leaving him without a job. He found a job working for the Bishop Estate, which he held for six years. He resigned to become a partner in the engineering firm of Wright, Harvey, and Wright in 1925 and opened his own firm in 1930. Mann married Henrietta Smith in 1922, with whom he had three children.
