ive seen this map reprinted before in about a 2' tall format...
though you *could* download it from the library of congress site, download the special reader for the file format its in, import it into photoshop, and at the resolution i think its up there at, print it out as a huge poster, if you had the print facilities... and its out of copyright - woo hoo!
hoo boy, too much time on my hands...
