Printings Large Map

[BigBody79]

I want a very large map of my school district. Say 3'x4' to 5'x6'. We have access to poster printers and regular printers. I'd even pay for something nice.
One shows the area the other the level of detail I'd like.

Any ideas?

Staples can print it. But need a file.

I've googled. I just don't ask questions with out searching first. Been looking a solution for a while now.

Well, do you want the easy way out or do you want the more technical route?

I used to do cartography for a map company years ago. Things have changed a bit I’m sure. But if I was doing it I’d start with your county GIS site, zoom into the area you’re wanting. Save that file as a vector format (editable format, not jpeg, png, etc.) something like a Vector PDF, dxf, or ai format and take that to a large format printer to have scaled and reproduced. But there are many styles and looks of maps and it depends on what you are after.

Let me know, I might can point you in the right direction.
