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.
Cartographer
Armin Kohl Lobeck (1886 - 1958) was an American geographer, cartographer, geologist, and artist based in New York City. Lobeck had a omnivorous approach to science and cartographer which reflected his educational background, studying botany and architecture in college and graduate school, both at Columbia University. After teaching at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy for several years, Lobeck returned to Columbia to pursue a Ph.D., awarded in 1917. During World War I, he was assigned to the State Department and worked to prepare physiographic maps of areas that would be critical to negotiating a peace at the end of the conflict. After the war, he taught at the University of Wisconsin – Madison for ten years, then returned to teach at Columbia as a Professor of Geology. He produced 'Physiographic Diagrams' of the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world that were very well-received and reissued in multiple editions. During World War II, Lobeck worked for the General Staff of the U.S. Army (G-2), and the Army Map Service. More by this mapmaker...
