A local electrician shop here has a large format printer/plotter. You might check with the electricians that design whole building electric service.

I would recommend googling "blueprint scanning service", there's a lot of places you can ship the maps off to for scanning, rolled up in a shipping tube. If you want a 600 DPI lossless (PNG) raster scan of something 35 x 28 inches in size it's going to be a huge file size.

If these are US topo maps, you might be able to re-download the whole thing in a vector based format from the USGS. Huge numbers of topo maps are now free. Go to http://store.usgs.gov and choose Map locator and downloader. I was able to mirror the "7.5 x 7.5 grid" 2014 series USGS topo maps for all of WA state using this method.

    architectural firms in our area. Ill have to look. The plumbing
    shop is an interesting idea as well Ill ask. I am not at all
    surprised that Chuck had a link. Chuck have you used that company

    So fairly off topic but since I live in the middle of nowhere (
    great place for a wisp) I don’t have access to normal businesses
    like a copy shop. A friend loaned me some old topo maps of an area
    I spent a lot of time in each fall. The maps have hand written
    notes on them along with GPS cords in some cases. He said to make
    a copy and return the maps to him. The problem is nowhere close to
    me can make copies this large. They are color and the largest map
    is 35”x 28”. I am wondering if anyone knows of a company that they
    have used in the past that I could send these too and have them
    make two copies of each and then send them all back.

    They are too large to scan and a digital photo uploaded to a
    printer won’t cut it on quality.
