Topographic
While the standard boundary survey deals primarily with marking out the boundaries of a parcel of land, a topographic survey is more concerned with depicting the natural and manmade features on the land itself. Some of these features may include hills, ditches, streams, trees, fences, buildings, and other improvements over the parcel. A topographic survey can sometimes the location, size, and height of these types of improvements, as well as gradual changes or contours in elevation. Unlike boundary surveys, a topographic land survey focuses more on elevation than on horizontal measurements. Those results then analyzed and mapped on a Topographic Survey. This mapping is most often utilized by design professionals as a basis for site planning, architecture, engineering, landscaping and many other uses. Rutzen Survey Services can provide any level of accuracy and detail required to suit those design needs.
