Tasks for “Aerotriangulation Specialist”
- Train staff members in duties such as tax mapping, the use of computerized mapping equipment, or the interpretation of source documents.
- Produce or update overlay maps to show information boundaries, water locations, or topographic features on various base maps or at different scales.
- Identify, research, and resolve anomalies in legal land descriptions, referring issues to title or survey experts as appropriate.
- Create survey description pages or historical records related to the mapping activities or specifications of section plats.
- Research and combine existing property information to describe property boundaries in relation to adjacent properties, taking into account parcel splits, combinations, or land boundary adjustments.
- Identify and compile database information to create maps in response to requests.
- Trim, align, and join prints to form photographic mosaics, maintaining scaled distances between reference points.
- Produce presentations of surface or mineral ownership layers by interpreting legal survey plans.
- Answer questions and provide information to the public or to staff members regarding assessment maps, surveys, boundaries, easements, property ownership, roads, zoning, or similar matters.
- Determine scales, line sizes, or colors to be used for hard copies of computerized maps, using plotters.

- Research resources such as survey maps or legal descriptions to verify property lines or to obtain information needed for mapping.
- Analyze aerial photographs to detect and interpret significant military, industrial, resource, or topographical data.
- Enter Global Positioning System (GPS) data, legal deeds, field notes, or land survey reports into geographic information system (GIS) workstations so that information can be transformed into graphic land descriptions, such as maps or drawings.
- Check all layers of maps to ensure accuracy, identifying and marking errors and making corrections.
- Design or develop information databases that include geographic or topographic data.
- Supervise or coordinate activities of workers engaged in plotting data, drafting maps, or producing blueprints, photostats, or photographs.
- Complete detailed source and method notes describing the location of routine or complex land parcels.
- Compare topographical features or contour lines with images from aerial photographs, old maps, or other reference materials to verify the accuracy of their identification.
- Compute and measure scaled distances between reference points to establish relative positions of adjoining prints and enable the creation of photographic mosaics.
