Local, State, Federal, and Tribal agencies are using aerial mapping, ortho imagery, and Lidar to solve problems and make well-informed decisions for their communities.
95West delivers geospatial services that help:
- Design new roadways and infrastructure
- Reduce costs
- Document and monitor utilities
- Perform risk assessment
- Streamline community planning
- Aid archeological inventory
- Conduct watershed analysis
95West is also ready to serve in emergency response efforts and natural disaster recovery. We can assist in documenting for damage assessment, forensic analysis, and disaster response planning.
Area-Wide Imagery
Geospatial imagery is an everyday resource for county and city staff for big picture planning and detailed inventory or property records. More aerial acquisition options are available today that offer considerable detail and integration with GIS systems.
To help you prepare for the future, 95West can capture large-format imagery and high-density lidar simultaneously in a single flight, resulting in greater detail and in much less time than smaller planes, or UASs. Depending on the area, data resolution, and atmospheric conditions, 95West can fly an entire county in a single day.
- Orthophotos for wide-area area coverage at 3″, 4″, 6″, 9″, etc.
- Multi-line flight paths for wide-area area coverage
- Three-band or four-band imagery
- Fully processed high-resolution imagery tiles and compressed mosaics
- Meets ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data

Color-Infrared (CIR) Imagery
CIR captures wavelengths emanating from vegetation, providing a more reliable means of monitoring and analysis. This can be used to assess vegetation health and classification, analyze invasive species, and more. When canopy volumes need to be studied, Lidar provides a reliable means of penetrating vegetation to establish an accurate baseline ground surface as well as modeling the top of the canopy. The use of this technology allows us to estimate the quantity, type, and height of trees
Use Cases:
- Analysis for use in managing forests, watersheds, wildlife habitats, and green spaces.
- Visualization and analysis of impervious surfaces.
- Analyzing soil properties such as permeability, salinity, and erosion. The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) can be derived from digital CIR data, a key indicator in plant analysis, fertilizer and herbicide applications, and yield estimates.
