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.
Credit and Scope of Use

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
Adin Mann (October 12, 1816 - April 2, 1903) was an American civil engineer and veteran of the American Civil War. Born in Orford, New Hampshire, Mann attended Meridan College in Meridan, New Hampshire, and earned a degree in civil engineering. He moved to Illinois in 1836, where he established himself as the pioneer surveyor of Kane County. Based out of his office in Udina, Illinois, Mann surveyed lands for settlers throughout the county, and was elected County Surveyor in 1842, a position he held for the next forty years. He moved from Udina to Elgin, Illinois in 1842 and held the post of Treasurer of Kane County from 1860 to 1862. In 1862, Mann was commissioned Captain of Company B, One Hundred Twenty-Fourth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and played a critical role in recruiting and organizing the regiment. He attained the rank of Major before being mustered out of service in 1865. Over the course of his career as a civil engineer, Mann conducted surveys in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, and Kansas. Maps of the entire states of Nebraska and Kansas were also made from his surveys and notes. At the time of his death, Mann had been a resident of Elgin, Illinois for twenty years, but over the course of his life he had lived in Batavia, Illinois, Vicksburg, Mississippi (where he ran a lumber business after the Civil War - a position he did not hold for very long), and for a while in Kansas. Mann married Lydia Wright in 1842, with whom he had eight children. Four of his six sons served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. More by this mapmaker...
