Verrado 5-Acre Topographic Mapping Project

This dataset was captured using RTK-enabled drone mapping over a 5-acre site in the Verrado area of Buckeye, Arizona. The processed data delivers a true-to-scale terrain model with 1-foot contours, supporting accurate topographic analysis and design workflows.

Project Overview

AeroViews was commissioned to perform aerial mapping and generate a high-accuracy topographic dataset for a 5-acre site in the West Valley of Phoenix, Arizona, near the Verrado community. The project supported trail design and site planning for a former vineyard with primarily bare-earth terrain.

Using drone-based data acquisition with RTK-enabled GNSS positioning, our team captured high-resolution imagery across the project boundary. The site conditions—minimal vegetation and open terrain—allowed for clean surface modeling and precise elevation extraction.

The collected data was processed into a detailed terrain model and used to generate 1-foot contour lines, providing the client with a design-ready dataset aligned to the project coordinate system. All deliverables were formatted for direct use in CAD and planning workflows.

The result is a highly accurate digital environment that supports design validation, stakeholder presentations, and more informed decision-making for hillside development projects.

1ft Contours

The processed dataset was used to generate a high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) representing the site’s terrain. Using QGIS, we extracted clean 1-foot contour lines from the DEM, delivering a CAD-ready dataset for immediate use in design workflows.

Results & Impact

The final dataset provided the client with an accurate representation of the site’s topography, enabling efficient planning and design of trail layouts within the property near Verrado.

By delivering 1-foot contours and a clean bare-earth model, the project eliminated the need for extensive manual field measurements while giving the design team a reliable foundation for grading, layout, and site analysis.

  • Delivered 1-foot contour lines for detailed terrain analysis

  • Provided a CAD-ready dataset aligned to Arizona State Plane coordinates

  • Enabled efficient trail design and site planning workflows

  • Reduced reliance on traditional ground-based surveying for early-stage design
