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
Harry Mathais Gousha (May 16, 1892 – September 24, 1970) was an American map publisher. Gousha worked for Rand McNally in Chicago as a sales executive before founding the H.M. Gousha Company in 1926. Gousha's company quickly became a competitor with Rand McNally thanks to its Touraide, a spiral-bound book with road maps, points of interest, and accommodations that was custom assembled for each client. Gousha retired in 1942 but stayed on as a consultant. Gousha and the company's headquarters moved to San Jose, California in 1947. In 1961, the H.M. Gousha Company was acquired by the Times Mirror Company, and then by Simon and Schuster in 1987. What remained of Gousha was finally acquired by Rand McNally in 1996, and subsequently much of the company's archives were donated to the Newberry Library. More by this mapmaker...
