USGS Quad Map Vectorization

USGS Quad Map Vectorization

Client:

Penn Virginia Oil & Gas Corporation

Pupose:

Provide Penn Virginia Oil & Gas Corporation with fully vectorized, USGS quads in .dwg format.

Processes/Services:

DDS obtained each quad in the area of interest from the USGS. We then scanned each quad at 400 dpi color to ensure digitizing accuracy. Each quad was georeferenced to the client's specified projection. DDS used a proprietary process to vectorize each entity of the quad in AutoCad, placing each entity on its own layer. These fully editable, vectorized quads are used by field engineers to map out potential areas for well locations.

Deliverable to Client:

ESRI .shp files and AutoCad .dxf files.

Google Earth Applications

Google Earth Application Client: The BROE Group Pupose: The BROE Group approached DDS to develop an alternative to paper-based maps for right-of-way management. BROE wanted a simple method to illustrate stakeholders adjacent to right-of-ways managed by BROE. Processes/Services: The BROE Group provided assessor maps for six (6) counties in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska and their rights-of-ways. DDS scanned, georeferenced, and digitized all parcels within one (1) mile of BROE right-of-ways. The layers were digitized, attributed, and symbolized in ESRI's ArcGIS. The layers were exported to Google Earth KMZ format to be distributed internally. Deliverable to Client: Google Earth KMZ files. For more information
