Lake and Land-Use Mapping
|
All About Lakes, LLC has teamed with Cabela's Trophy Properties, LLC to provide professional resource mapping services. Our exclusive territories include most of Colorado and all of Nebraska; however, we are able to provide services throughout much of the Rocky Mountain, Great Plains and Midwest areas. Successful, long term, cost effective management of your lake or pond requires a thorough understanding of the aquatic resource. It is critical to know the exact acreage, depths and water volume of your lake to make the right management decisions, including fish species selection, stocking densities, habitat placement, algae and aquatic weed control, waterfowl habitat design and dredging plans. Our 3D model of your lake will provide the information needed for optimal enhancement and maintenance of overall ecological integrity, aesthetics and recreational opportunity. One beneficial, yet very important use of a detailed lake map involves water-use safety issues. Our detailed maps allow anglers and boaters the ability to familiarize themselves with overall depths, boat lanes and obstacles. Through extensive review of the maps, lake managers have the ability to identify unsafe boating and fishing areas, thereby allowing for development of lake safety plans. In addition to our base pond and lake mapping services (i.e., the contour and 3D formats), we also offer comprehensive and detailed mapping of bottom sediment. The sediment map, which illustrates site-specific sediment depths and volumes, can be integrated into the base lake maps. The sediment map allows lake owners and managers the ability to determine dredging requirements (i.e., sediment removal). This information is very useful, and ensures cost-effectiveness, when developing lake dredging plans and monitoring sediment loading over a long period of time. The sediment maps are developed using specialized GPS, digital sediment depth recording, and GIS techniques. For specialized needs, we can also map various features of the resource. These may include, but not limited to, aquatic vegetation beds, wetlands, forests, streams, irrigation canals, inlet and outlet features, dam facilities, habitat structure, food plots (for food plot design), boat ramps, fishing piers, duck blinds, waterfowl nests and site-specific channels. These features can be added to each type of map, depending upon the client's needs. |

Our specialized lake mapping service provides the detailed, accurate information landowners and property managers need to maximize their lakes' potential. Clients can choose to receive various formats of maps, including high quality printed maps, large wall maps, and three-dimensional virtual tours (swim-through version) on a DVD. Using highly specialized equipment, our certified technicians and biologists collect data in the field, which is then analyzed and processed by Cabela's mapping professionals; using the best available printing equipment and media.

How Does It Work?
Through Cabela's Trophy Properties, LLC we have engineered and manufactured specialized and proprietary GPS and sonar computer systems for collecting point-specific location and depth data. This system is mounted on our boat, where we collect point-specific data along several transects and locations. The system collects simultaneous depth and location data once per second, thus allowing us to record several thousand data points per lake. No other mapping technique can provide results as accurate as our method.
Upon completion of data collection in the field, data are submitted to Cabela's mapping specialists for review, analysis and interpretation. Using sophisticated GIS software, high-definition satellite imagery, and high quality printing capabilities, these professionals produce the highest quality maps available on the market. Cost for this service is dependent upon lake size. Please feel free to call us at 800-852-4075 for a fast quote.
