Orthomosaic & RTK mapping

Drone Mapping and Orthomosaic Portals for Sites, Land, and Project Documentation

High-resolution drone mapping, RTK-supported capture when appropriate, QGIS workflows, and web-based map portals for construction, land, commercial property, and site visualization.

Featured example

Use the map below to compare site views, explore project layers, and open site photos or 360° viewpoints. Read the Riverton North case study for the project challenge, approach, and delivered field viewer.

Riverton North Project Field Viewer

Open the Riverton North field viewer in a new tab.

What mapping helps with

Map-level context for sites that need more than photos

Land & Acreage

Parcel context, access, terrain, surrounding property, boundary-style visuals, and presentation-ready land media. Explore land and acreage visuals.

Commercial Property

Roof/site context, development parcels, parking and access, surrounding roads, and location storytelling.

Deliverables

Mapping outputs can be simple, technical, or client-facing

Orthomosaic Image

High-resolution map-style image built from overlapping drone photos.

Web Map Portal

Interactive map delivery for client review, sharing, and project visibility.

GeoTIFF / Map Exports

Export formats can support GIS workflows, reporting, and project documentation when needed.

Plan or Parcel Overlays

Overlay site plans, parcel context, access routes, or other reference layers when suitable files are available.

QGIS Reporting

Map graphics, screenshots, annotations, and documentation prepared through QGIS workflows.

Portal Integration

Mapping can be combined with photos, 360 tours, timelines, and project pages.

Workflow

Capture, process, style, and deliver

Capture

Collect overlapping drone imagery with a mapping-focused flight plan. RTK-supported capture can be used when appropriate.

Process

Build orthomosaics and map outputs using tools such as DroneDeploy, Pix4Dmatic, WebODM, and QGIS depending on the project.

Deliver

Provide web maps, images, exports, screenshots, overlays, and custom portals that fit how the client needs to use the information.

Practical note

Mapping for visualization, planning support, and documentation

When a project needs legal survey work, the mapping should be coordinated with a licensed surveyor. For most site documentation and marketing work, the goal is clear visual context and usable deliverables.

Project questions

Questions about drone mapping deliverables

What can I receive from a mapping project?

Depending on the agreed scope, deliverables can include an orthomosaic image, GeoTIFF or map exports, annotated graphics, and an interactive web map. Tell us which software or reporting workflow you need the files to support.

Can my site plans or reference layers be included?

Suitable site plans, parcel information, KML/KMZ files, and reference layers can be considered for overlays. Send the files with the site location and intended use so their suitability can be reviewed before the work is scoped.

Project intake

Need an orthomosaic or mapping portal?

Send the location, approximate acreage/site size, desired outputs, and any plans, KML/KMZ files, parcel data, or reference layers you want included.
