Platting/Replatting

The process of dividing one large parcel of land into several smaller pieces and drawing a map (or plat) of the new subdivision, often for the purpose of selling off the pieces individually.


Mapping

Aerial Photo Mapping Control – Aerial photo control is the placement of painted targets on the ground in anticipation of aerial photos. The horizontal and vertical location of these target points are then used in the photogrammetric process to “control” the production of the maps.

GIS Mapping – GIS stands for Geographic Information System. This is also sometimes called a Land Information System (LIS). These surveys are done to locate items like utilities (water, sewer, power, etc.) in order to populate a GIS database.


ALTA/ASCM

Often referred to as an ALTA survey.

ALTA stands for the American Land Title Association and ACSM is the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping. An ALTA survey is a boundary survey prepared to a set of minimum standards developed by ALTA and ACSM. They are updated regularly. An ALTA survey is very comprehensive (read costly) and is most often performed on commercial property or when a lender is out of state. This is a widely accepted national standard for surveying.
