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.

Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack.

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.

Walter Richeson Love (April 28, 1887 - August 23, 1937), who went by his middle name, was a civil engineer, surveyor, and map publisher active in Miami c. 1920. Love was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. He was active in Miami from at least 1915, when he was employed by Frederick S. Morse (1859 - 1920) as a commercial surveyor at the Model Land Company. He served in World War I (1914 - 1918), returning to Miami after the war. In 1920, he updated the 1918 Official Plat of Miami to reflect the city's rapid development. In 1922, he owned a commercial map shop in downtown Miami. He was a member of the American Association of Engineers and the Miami Engineering Society. He later took work with Alcoa Aluminum and returned to Knoxville, where he died in 1919 at age 50. More by this mapmaker...
