Accurate maps are an essential tool for a wide range of industries and organizations, from land development to environmental conservation. Precise aerial mapping from an experienced provider such as Earth Graphics, can help developers, transportation authorities, power agencies and other important organizations to clearly understand a wide range of terrain and locations. Data on spatial relationships and the placement of roads, power lines, and other important infrastructures can greatly impact the decisions made by these organizations.
In addition forestry and other environmental organizations can utilize the tools to protect important national parks and reserves. Mapping is an important part of protecting a variety of plant and animal species, understanding their location can substantially affect the approaches taken to protect them. In addition, understanding complex vegetation throughout a diverse range of forests can help
both conservationists and foresters in understanding the best ways to handle special environments.

This is only a sampling of the impact of aerial mapping, and it is able to positively impact a wide range of private companies and government agencies. Aerial mapping is accomplished through a combination of aerial photography and photogrammetry.
Aerial photography is the capturing of photographs of the ground from a great height. Typically the photographs are taken from a moving aerial craft like an airplane helicopter or even more recently drones. The camera will capture an extensive number of photos to clearly represent the location being investigated.

The camera will capture an extensive number of photos to clearly represent the location being investigated.
After extensive aerial photos have been gathered, a specialist in photogrammetry will use the images to make concise measurements of an area. These measurements are then used to create comprehensive 3-d maps that can help individuals clearly understand the selected environment.
These techniques are specifically useful in considering uncharted or complex environments that cannot be easily understood, and the maps are essential in all major decisions made.
