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
Nile Jurgen Behncke (June 6, 1892 – October 11, 1954) was an American artist and museum administrator active in the first half of the 20th century in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Behncke was born in Oshkosh to the artist Gustave Behncke, a fresco painter and muralist, and his wife Ida Heiss Behncke. He expressed an early affinity to art and initially worked for his father before moving, in 1914, to the Oshkosh Engraving Company. In 1918 he was drafted into the 83rd Ohio Division of the U.S. Army and sent to France to fight in World War I. He was lucky to arrived one day before the Armistice and so saw little action. After the war he return to Oshkosh where he studied art and, in 1924, took a position as directly of the Oshkosh Public Museum, a position he held until his death. He is not a known cartographer and is only map is his 1931 pictorial map of The Fox River Valley drawn as a fundraiser for the Museum he directed. More by this mapmaker...
