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.
Credit and Scope of Use

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
Earle Morton Rader (November 6, 1899 - February 4, 1989) was an American engineer. Born in St. Augustine, Florida, and the son oaf a Methodist preacher, Rader's family moved to Miami before he was a year old. He attended the Trial-State College of Engineering in Indiana and graduated in 1921. After graduating, he worked in Montana and then Missouri designing roads and highways. In 1924, he returned to Miami and became the City Engineer. He held that position until 1940, when he resigned to become a consultant. In 1942, however, he became county engineer, after Dade County began building the Rickenbacker Causeway. Rader left the county engineering job in 1948 and founded his own firm, Rader Engineering, which would later be known as Rader and Associates. While the firm was in operation, it designed modern shipping facilities for the port of Manila, highways in Ecuador and Panama, launch pads at Cape Canaveral, city water systems in Paraguay and Costa Rica, and a pipeline and water reservoir in the Florida Keys. The firm went bankrupt in 1977 for unknown reasons. More by this mapmaker...
