Map Prints
EPCAMR has a large format full-color inkjet plotter to print maps. Typically we print poster-sized (Arch C) maps for the public from our OSM Anthracite Mine Map Folios and they cost $5 per print. We can print custom sizes on 42″ roll paper up to 10 foot long. We charge per foot for custom prints.
Please describe the particular map you want to be printed in “Order Notes” at checkout or follow up with an upload a digital map for us to print. For example, several mine maps from the PA Mine Map Atlas can be printed on-demand. Ones with the prefix “OSMA” represent the Office of Surface Mining Anthracite Mine Map Folio collection. There are upwards of 15 map layers representing the surface, different coal veins, and cross-sections in each folio please be specific as to which maps you would like printed. Feel free to contact EPCAMR staff in advance to determine if we can fulfill your request.
This product only covers the printing of preexisting maps with minimal formatting. EPCAMR has GIS software to create maps, and if that service is needed we charge hourly. Map print jobs can be canceled at the discretion of EPCAMR and money refunded especially if we cannot determine the parameters of your need.
Maps may be folded to accommodate the selected shipping method.
Centralia: Pennsylvania’s Lost Town DVD
A 2017 CENTONE PICTURES RELEASE – A coal mining town of approximately 1,500 residents in upstate Pennsylvania is overcome by a massive underground mine fire which began in May of 1962. After many failed attempts by the government to put out the fire, it grew larger and moved beneath most of the town. Through vintage photos, live news clips, news articles, former documentaries on the town, interviews from retired mining and state officials, remaining residents, lawyers, environmentalists, tourists, and former residents, this feature documentary is rolled up into one story and focuses on the history of the town, the tourists it allures, the alleged curse that was placed on the town, the people who lived in it when it was thriving, the lawsuit that was won by the few remaining residents, the coal companies that have an eye on Centralia, and what remains of Centralia in 2014 through 2016. This is Centralia’s story, told by the people who lived through it.
