Tabloid sized (13 by 19 inches) flatbed scanners are available and some photo or print shops have them (even here in Arkansas). These are capable of quite high resolutions.. but most work is still done at 300dpi (or less), due to large file sizes. Images larger than that are usually photographed with various setups.
Blueprints (in the old days) were done with a diazo (ammonia) process. Most are now directly printed from computer originals, either 11 by 17 or using large format inkjet printers (usually 36 or 48 inches wide).
