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
Dimitri Vasilievich Nalivkin (Дми́трий Васи́льевич Нали́вкин August 13 (25), 1889 - March 3, 1982) was a Russian Soviet geologist and paleontologist. Born in St. Petersburg, Nalivkin graduated from the Tenishev School in 1907. After graduation he began working as a collector for the Geological Committee, the first major state geological institution in the Russian Empire. Nalivkin was considered an expert in central Asian geology by 1915, the year he graduated from the Petrograd Mining Institute, and was asked by the Russian Geographical Society to lead an expedition to study glaciers in the Pamir. In 1917, after being demobilized from military service in World War I, he was elected to the Geological Commission of Russia, and was associated with the organization for more than sixty years. He completed his doctorate in 1924at the Saint Petersburg (Petrograd) Mining University, where he eventually became the head of the department of historical geology. During World War II, Nalivkin used his research to search for bauxite, a key metal in aircraft construction, to help with the war effort. His most significant achievement, however, was the creation of an index geological map of the USSR, which attracted significant international attention. He was awarded the Lenin Prize in 1957 after completing this monumental Geological Map of the USSR. More by this mapmaker...
