Professional Surveying Services
Surveying is a complex profession with many sub-specializations. Here are a few services that I specialize in and would be happy to have a conversation with you about. I will help you understand the specifics of each and which will be the best service to meet your needs. I always say "the first conversation is free", so reach out to me today! Call today and I will help guide you towards a solution.

Topographic Surveying
Topographic surveying is the process of precisely measuring and mapping the natural and man-made features of the land, including elevations, contours, structures, utilities, and surface features. Using a combination of GNSS, total stations, terrestrial laser scanning, and drone-based LiDAR or photogrammetry, Maven Mapping Solutions collects accurate three-dimensional data tied to established horizontal and vertical control. This data is used to create detailed topographic maps, digital terrain models (DTMs), and surface contours that support engineering design, site planning, drainage analysis, grading, roadway design, and construction layout. Topographic surveys provide a critical foundation for informed decision-making by ensuring designers and stakeholders clearly understand existing site conditions before work begins.
UAS/Drone Mapping
Drone mapping (sometimes called drone surveying) is a fairly straightforward way to collect data with drones. As its name suggests, it involves mapping an area of your choice with a drone to produce all kinds of useful outputs like an orthomosaic, digital elevation models, and 3D models. Drone mapping allows a level of highly detailed data collection across a large area that isn’t possible through satellite images or traditional ground surveying.
3D Scanning & Modeling
3D Scanning & Modeling is an advanced data-capture process that uses high-resolution LiDAR, laser scanning, and photogrammetry to collect millions to billions of spatially accurate measurements of real-world features. At Maven Mapping Solutions, these measurements are processed into dense point clouds and converted into precise 3D models that represent terrain, structures, utilities, and built environments at survey-grade accuracy. The resulting models can be used for design coordination, existing-conditions documentation, volumetric analysis, deformation monitoring, and clash detection. By delivering highly detailed, georeferenced 3D datasets, 3D scanning and modeling minimize field revisits, improve design confidence, and provide a reliable digital foundation for engineering, construction, and long-term asset management.
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys
What is an ALTA Land Title Survey?
A land survey is an important process for property owners, real estate buyers, landscapers, and developers. Land surveys reveal vital information about a piece of real property, such as its boundaries, physical features, potential encumbrances, easements, and mortgages.
The best way to ensure a land survey fulfills industry standards and requirements is through a professional surveyor. Not all surveys produce the necessary results – the most well-esteemed land surveys in the industry are those from the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) now part of the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS).
Boundary Surveys & Property Line Adjustments
A Boundary Survey (Record of Survey) is the act of locating boundary monumentation and measuring their relationship in an effort to retrace the land described in your deed document.
A Property Line Adjustment reconfigures one or more parcels/lots in an effort to meet the current needs/wants of the property owners.
These surveys are regulated by local and state codes and statutes.
Plats & Subdivisions
A Partition Plat or Short Plat is much like a boundary survey, but it divides a unit of land to create not more than three(OR)-four parcels (WA) of land within a calendar year.
A Subdivision is a lot like a Partition Plat, but it creates more than four(OR)-five(WA) units of land and is typically accompanied by public infrastructure improvements.
All platting needs to meet both local and state codes and statutes. There are many variables that need to be considered to determine the correct path for the lot creation process. Please call Maven Mapping Solutions today to have a one-on-one conversation to determine the best steps forward!
