- Supervise or coordinate activities of workers engaged in plotting data, drafting maps, or producing blueprints, photostats, or photographs.
- Compute and measure scaled distances between reference points to establish relative positions of adjoining prints and enable the creation of photographic mosaics.
- Lay out and match aerial photographs in sequences in which they were taken and identify any areas missing from photographs.
- 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.
- Determine scales, line sizes, or colors to be used for hard copies of computerized maps, using plotters.
- 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.
- Redraw or correct maps, such as revising parcel maps, to reflect tax code area changes, using information from official records or surveys.
- Analyze aerial photographs to detect and interpret significant military, industrial, resource, or topographical data.
- Complete detailed source and method notes describing the location of routine or complex land parcels.
- 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.
- Create survey description pages or historical records related to the mapping activities or specifications of section plats.
- Identify and compile database information to create maps in response to requests.
- Compare topographical features or contour lines with images from aerial photographs, old maps, or other reference materials to verify the accuracy of their identification.
