The Mapping Network created a hydrographic and sediment survey for a property owners association (POA).   The main lake inlet has shallow water because sediment settles at the mouth of the stream, creating deltas.   The POA installed two sediment basins to capture sediment flowing from the north.  However, as shown on the watershed map, much more sediment is flowing from the east (this includes residential areas and a golf course).  The POA needed to quantify sediment build-up in their sediment…

The battle against aquatic vegetation in lakes and ponds can be quite expensive.  Understanding exactly where to apply a treatment will save time and money but more importantly provides a better opportunity to control aggressive non-native aquatic plant life. Having a lake professionally mapped not only shows the water depths but the 3D model can be used for identifying potential problem areas.   Proper tools for management decisions provide the information needed in controlling unwanted…

The Mapping Network has extensive experience performing hydrographic surveys on intake channels for power plants and drinking water intakes. On the example below The Mapping Network conducted a pre and post dredge survey along with calculating the amount of material removed.  The map below is the post-dredge survey after all dredging operations were performed. About The Mapping Network:  The Mapping Network is an industry leader in Geographic Information Systems, GPS Data Collection, Aerial Imagery, and Data Conversion.  We…

The Mapping Network and Absolute Natural Resources teamed up for a mapping project on the western edge of Kansas City, Kansas.  The client, a Home Owner Association, requested the creation of a detailed property and lake map which will then be distributed throughout the community.  Mapping the lake on the property allows for proper management of largemouth bass, crappie, blue gill and catfish populations by knowing exact depths and acreage for stocking densities and vegetation…
