Maps are needed for all types of projects. Whether one must evaluate the health of an ecosystem, plan the construction of a trail network, determine changes over time in land use, or any number of other tasks, having a visual depiction is essential to achieving those goals. Beyond merely presenting data on a map, such information must also be conveyed in a manner that is easily coherent to the person receiving it. Thus, the key to creating any map can be summarized as three components: Understanding the client’s needs, organizing necessary data, and creating a deliverable that both fully and effectively communicates requirements set out by the project. Additionally, while it is common for the final product to be a digital static version, it is also possible to create georeferenced PDFs, infographics, and online interactive maps.

At M.C. Wright, we specialize in providing custom map products that are tailored to suit your project needs. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a software designed to store and manipulate geographic data, we excel at taking details from a variety of sources and integrating it into a seamless output. Such sources may include remote vehicles such as satellites or drones that are capable of imaging in several wavelengths, fieldwork, and air photos. Furthermore, if information is not readily available, we also possess the means of acquiring appropriate data through our own resources, which includes drones, survey equipment, and fieldwork.
