Better Maps for Better Decisions

Mapping is an important tool for understanding country property. While Google Earth (www.earth.google.com) offers fabulous mapping adventures, its available layers for the Texas Hill Country are very limited. www.zillow.com is another fantastic site, with map- based tools for determining the value of your home. However, its uses for the urban/rural interface and country property are, again, quite limited. Among the special services we offer our clients is a custom aerial-based mapping system to assist you in the evaluation of your property so you can make the right decision. Our mapping service is built on a complex process that requires obtaining map data from a variety of sources, the customized building of many additional map layers, the geo-referencing of all layers (which assures all elements are aligned and at the right scale), continual updating, and creating graphic design interpretation of the map data so the maps are both meaningful and appealing.
