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.

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 S
Grace Belknap Illman (April 22, 1918 - February 11, 2014) was an American teacher, gardener, wife, and mother. Born in Walla Walla, Washington, to Courtney and Florence Belknap, she graduated from Oregon State University in 1942. During World War II, Illman served as a brevet lieutenant in the Army Air Corps at Scott Field, Illinois, where she taught aircraft radio operations. While at Scott Field, she also met her future husband, Walter Illman. In 1945, Illman moved to Greensboro, North Carolina where she wed Walt in 1948. Grace taught vocational education at Greensboro (Grimsely) High School and later worked as a full-time substitute teacher at Kiser Junior High School. Illman was an avid gardener and joined the Westridge Gardeners in 1952, and, in 1956, she served as President of the Greensboro Council of Garden Clubs. Illman was recognized as the Mary Seymour Woman of the Year in 2011 in recognition of all she had done for the Garden Council and the community of Greensboro at large. More by this mapmaker...
The Garden Club of North Carolina (GCNC) (1925 - Present) was founded on November 6, 1925, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The GCNC administers three public gardens in North Carolina: the Elizabethan Gardens on Roanoke Island, the Daniel Boone Native Gardens in Boone, and the Martha Franck Fragrance Garden, which was closed due to the expansion of the grounds of the Rehabilitation Center for the Blind in Butner, where the garden was located. In 1997, the Governor Morehead School for the Blind approached the GCNC and asked if they would like to establish a garden on the school's grounds for their students and their families, and this garden, by the same name, was dedicated in 2001.
