ABOUT AMERICAN GEOSPATIAL™
With more than 30 years of experience working in modern and historic cemeteries, the American Geospatial staff of geospatial scientists, archaeologists, historians, genealogists, and surveyors, holds a combined expertise of more than 150 years. Our professional production of accurate cemetery maps and reliable records provides Sexton’s and Cemetery Managers with a highly affordable product and the information needed to effectively manage their grounds.
Our precision mapping services begin with a ‘…boots on the ground…’ approach combined with state-of-the-art technologies including, but not limited to, Geographic Information Science (GIS), Remote Sensing, and Geophysical Exploration methodologies as necessary. For lost graves search, body recovery, potter's field inspections and clearing, etc., see Archaeogeophysics & Exploration.
Our map deliverables are spatially accurate and produced to-scale, meaning Sexton’s and Cemetery Managers can accurately measure distance and direction for precision work in the field. The Record of Interment we produce is an amalgamation of our field-based reconnaissance, and review and compilation of existing data and maps, with updates available as your records change.
Our maps (Sections, Lots, and Spaces) are tethered to the landscape using low-altitude, high-resolution Aerial Photogrammetry, Differential Global Positioning Systems (DGPS), and Total Station (TPS) surveys. Our maps are not a Plat of Survey, rather high-precision, high-accuracy renderings of your actual cemetery as it was developed, as opposed to the ‘conceptual’ design, which often differs from reality, and we place interments on the map where they are found. Thus, our maps typically supersede the accuracy of the original cemetery layout.
Maps can be updated as burials occur or records change, upon request.
We can validate what you have today and provide updates in the future as your cemetery grows and changes.
