Conservation organizations realize that good mapping is essential to watershed and site planning, baseline and natural features inventories, project analysis, and monitoring of protected areas. 

ORLT has a fully capable GIS department supporting our own conservation activities with a variety of GIS tools, including digital data and imagery, integrated databases and GPS. 

Maps are created in AutoCAD Map 2000 because of its accuracy, broad capabilities, wide use, and acceptance by surveyors, land use planners, engineers and non-conservation professionals. 

Maps can be used and further developed in ArcView or other software.

These mapping samples all represent one project to show some of the types of maps we can create. Other possibilities might include a point-to-point route for periodic monitoring of the property. Or topic-oriented maps showing things like logging roads, or firebreaks, or timber reserve areas. Or adjacent property owners and boundaries. Or labels on specific features -- historic buildings, endangered species, scenic overlooks, caves...Your imagination is the limit!

Maps for Landowners

We can create a map of your property on a USGS topographic or air photo base. Send us a legal description and your boundaries will be computer plotted and printed on an 11x17" map. Let us know if you want the USGS topo or air photo base or both. 

For a relatively simple map on a topographic base, the price is $12. 

For air photo base, the price is $12 plus the cost of acquiring the air photos. Please contact us regarding availability and the number of air photos required for coverage of your property. 

Postage is included. Extra copies of maps are $2 each. More complex or customized maps will be individually quoted.
