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.

Opie Chambers (c. 1890 - c. 1939) was an American active in South Dakota politics and business in the early 20th century. Said to have come from Florida to South Dakota, Chambers founded the South Dakota Development association in an effort to help promote South Dakota throughout the country. Said to have been 'one of the state's most ardent and effective boosters', Chambers served as secretary of the Development association and was also affiliated with the Sunshine State magazine. Chambers moved to Arizona in 1921 after being told that relocating there would improve his daughter's health. He was back in South Dakota by 1927, where he became Executive Secretary of the Yankton Chamber of Commerce, a position he held from April of that year to January 1, 1930. Chambers and Ernest J.
