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
Hiram D. Brown (November 10, 1848 - April 17, 1905) was an American businessman and printer. Born in Lorraine, New York, Brown moved to Minnesota in the early 1860s. He then worked as a printer's apprentice in Lake City, Minnesota, and later in Red Wing, Minnesota. After his apprenticeship, he served as the publisher of the Lake City Sentinal for twelve years. Brown moved to St. Paul in 1881 and soon formed a business partnership with B.B. Herbert known as Brown and Herbert. This business later became Brown and Treacy, and was finally incorporated as the Brown, Treacy, and Sperry Company in 1901. At the time of his death, Brown was president of the Brown, Treacy, and Sperry Company and a senior member of Brown and Bigelow, which he founded with Herbert Huse Bigelow in 1896. Brown died of pneumonia. Brown and Bigelow, a printing firm based in St. Paul, is still in operation today. More by this mapmaker...
Herbert Huse Bigelow (May 18, 1870 - September 16, 1933) was an American businessman and printer. Born in Brookfield, Vermont, he moved to Iowa with his family at the age of thirteen. He later graduated from Grinnell College and worked as a calendar salesman after graduation. He founded Brown and Bigelow, a printing firm, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 1896 with Hiram D. Brown. Bigelow was convicted of tax evasion in 1924 and sentenced two three years in Leavenworth Penitentiary, but only served eight months. During his time in prison, he made friends with Morris Rudensky, the infamous safe-cracker. After his release, Bigelow helped institute innovative convict rehabilitation programs at Brown and Bigelow, eventually hiring hundreds of ex-convicts. One of these ex-convicts, Charlee Ward, would eventually become president of the company. Bigelow served as the company's president until 1933 when he drowned in a lake, leaving an estate valued at $3 million. Learn More...
