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
Clyde Richard Bergdahl (March 23, 1913 - April 6, 1998) was an engineer and was active in his community. Born in Sand Point, Idaho, Bergdahl was a Boy Scout in his youth and then attended Washington State University. He graduated from Washington State in 1931. He worked for the Austin Construction Company in 1940 and moved to Richland in 1943 when he began working at the Hanford Atomic Project. In the 1950s Bergdahl was active in Civil Defense and other aspects of community life. Bergdahl made at least two maps: a pictorial map of Richland, Washington, and an unpublished map of the St. Lawrence River. He married Elizabeth Maynard Francisco (October 18, 1912 - June 9th, 2016) on November 21, 1940. They were married for fifty-eight years. More by this mapmaker...
