Aerial Mapping & GIS Services

Drone Mapping, GIS & Aerial Data Services

Non-survey aerial mapping and GIS visualization — orthomosaic maps, high-resolution imagery, agricultural documentation, and construction progress mapping for landowners, farmers, ranchers, and developers.

Important — Non-Survey Services

Cox Aerial Solutions LLC provides aerial mapping, imagery, measurements, and GIS visualization services. Approximate parcel-reference overlays are based on customer-provided records, public GIS data, or other reference information. Deliverables are not legal surveys, boundary determinations, plats, legal descriptions, or substitutes for services provided by a licensed professional surveyor.

Inspection limitations

Cox Aerial Solutions LLC provides remote, non-destructive aerial observations and informational deliverables based on conditions visible to the selected sensors during the inspection period. Services do not constitute professional engineering, electrical contracting, roofing contracting, code certification, structural certification, land surveying, repair instruction, or a guarantee that every defect or hazard will be detected. Final severity, cause, maintenance action, repair, shutdown, switching, and engineering decisions remain with qualified customer personnel.

What is drone mapping?

High-resolution aerial maps, captured in hours instead of weeks.

Drone mapping is the process of flying an autonomous, pre-planned grid pattern over a property and stitching the resulting high-resolution photos into a single, georeferenced orthomosaic. The output is far more detailed than public satellite imagery and completely up to date — useful for visual land documentation, agricultural planning, and construction progress tracking.

For landowners, farmers, and developers, that means a clear visual record of every fence line, drainage, road, treeline, and crop row — captured in a single flight and delivered as maps, overlays, and annotated reports you can share with agronomists or contractors. Deliverables are for visual reference only and are not legal surveys or boundary determinations.

Use cases

Built for the people who work the land

Aerial imagery & visual land documentation

High-resolution orthomosaic maps for landowners, real estate transactions, and pre-construction visual planning. Visual documentation of customer-identified easement areas, fence lines, and general acreage — delivered far faster than walking a property on foot. Deliverables are for visual reference only and are not legal surveys.

Agricultural field documentation and recurring visual monitoring

Current agricultural services include high-resolution RGB imagery, orthomosaic mapping, drainage and field-condition documentation, thermal-pattern observations where technically appropriate, and recurring visual monitoring. Observations identify relative patterns and possible scouting areas; they do not independently diagnose crop disease, nutrient deficiency, irrigation need, chemical treatment, agronomic condition, or expected yield.

Ranch & livestock operations

Map pasture rotations, water sources, and fence-line conditions across large acreage. Ideal for ranchers managing thousands of acres who need an up-to-date visual record without putting miles on a truck.

Construction, land development & site planning

Aerial imagery, orthomosaics, and 3D terrain models for developers evaluating raw land, planning subdivisions, or documenting site conditions and construction progress.

What you receive

Maps, overlays, and reports you can actually use.

Every drone mapping project at Cox Aerial Solutions LLC is delivered as a package of finished assets — not raw files you have to process yourself.

  • High-resolution orthomosaic maps (stitched aerial imagery)
  • Approximate Parcel Reference Overlay on satellite or aerial base maps (visual reference only, not a legal survey)
  • Approximate area and acreage estimates from imagery
  • Non-survey elevation and terrain visualization
  • Annotated PDF reports for sharing with agronomists, contractors, or partners
  • Selected imagery and data identified in the approved Scope of Work are included. Raw, source, editable, or nonstandard project files are provided only when expressly listed and priced.

FAQ

Common questions about drone mapping

What is drone mapping?

Drone mapping captures high-resolution aerial imagery and stitches it into orthomosaic maps, 3D models, and elevation visualizations — used for non-survey aerial mapping, GIS visualization, agricultural documentation, and construction progress tracking. Deliverables are not legal surveys.

How accurate are drone mapping deliverables?

Drone imagery is high-resolution and current, but our deliverables are for visual reference and general planning only. Any approximate parcel-reference overlay is based on customer-provided records or public GIS data — not a legal survey, boundary determination, or plat.

How is drone mapping used in agriculture?

Farmers and ranchers use it for RGB field documentation, orthomosaic mapping, drainage and field-condition documentation, and recurring visual monitoring. Thermal-pattern observations may be added where technically appropriate. Observations identify relative patterns and possible scouting areas; they do not independently diagnose crop disease, nutrient deficiency, irrigation need, chemical treatment, agronomic condition, or expected yield.

How much do drone mapping services cost?

Agricultural and land mapping packages run $500–$5,000+ depending on acreage and deliverables. Approximate Parcel Reference Overlays as an add-on start at $50.
