Landscape Mapping & 3D Visuals
 

Visual precision for planners, designers, and decision-makers.

Overview

At Gordon GIS, we specialize in transforming real-world environments into stunning, data-rich visuals. Whether documenting natural landscapes, urban growth, or site design concepts, our Landscape & Mapping Visuals service blends drone imagery with GIS precision to produce high-quality visuals that inform, inspire, and drive better planning outcomes.

What's Included

Each project is tailored for visual accuracy and storytelling clarity.
Your package includes:
  • High-Resolution Aerial Imagery captured by Sora G with true-color and oblique perspectives.
  • Orthomosaic Map Creation with precise ground control for accurate scale and alignment.
  • 3D Terrain Models for visualizing slopes, elevations, and topographic context.
  • Custom Map Design styled for planning presentations, environmental reports, or marketing boards.
  • Before-and-After Visualizations for restoration sites, xeriscape conversions, or development phases.
  • Professional Output Package: GeoTIFF, KMZ overlay, and formatted map PDFs ready for printing or web use.

How it Works

Step
Description
1. Define Your Project Area
Provide site boundaries or an address to generate an accurate flight plan and map extent.
2. Pre-Flight Planning
We analyze terrain, flight altitude, and image overlap to ensure optimal resolution for mapping and visualization.
3. Data Capture
Our drones conduct a precise aerial survey, collecting imagery for both technical accuracy and visual impact.
4. Processing & Cartography
Imagery is processed into orthomosaics and 3D surfaces, then designed into visually rich maps and renderings using GIS tools.
5. Delivery
Receive a complete visual package—maps, models, and images—digitally formatted for planners, stakeholders, or presentations.
Step
Description
1. Consultation
Discuss site, goals, and   deliverables. Confirm airspace and location.
2. Flight Planning
Plan optimal lighting and path for cinematic angles.
3. Capture
Execute flight with safety checks,   collecting video and stills.
4. Post-Processing
Edit photos/videos, color-correct, and prepare deliverables.
5. Delivery
Provide download links and optional GIS integration package.

GIS Connection

Every visual product from Gordon GIS is built on geospatial accuracy.

Using GIS software, imagery is aligned to real-world coordinates, enabling you to:
  • Overlay maps with parcel data, zoning, vegetation indices, or hydrology layers.
  • Generate slope and aspect maps for design and grading insight.
  • Compare imagery over time to track landscape change or project impacts.
  • Export datasets compatible with ArcGIS Pro, AutoCAD, or SketchUp workflows.
     
It’s not just a photo of the landscape—it’s a data-driven visualization that connects beauty with precision.
