We turn survey records into CAD geometry.

TerrainPlot reads the sheet: lot lines, bearings and distances, curves, labels, centerlines, curve/line tables - and draws it as real geometry (not traced lines). We show you misclosures, gaps/gores, and link everything so that reviewing is quick and easy.

There are plenty of deed plotters out there. Here is why we are different:

Just drop in a file.

No need to type anything, or worry about file type. We’ll find any legal descriptions, plot them all, and give you downloadable .dxf and closure reports.

We’re good at messy docs and complicated legals.

Cursive, scans of scans, weird curves... We can’t read the unreadable, but this is the thing people tell us we’re best at.

Everything links to the source.

Click on any line to see exactly where it came from in the document for quick review. Software flags if it’s less sure.

A solver when shapes don’t close.

If a shape doesn’t close, it looks for flipped bearings and transposed digits, and shows you an exact before/after if you want to make a change.

Turn an aliquot description into the right shape and georeference it using public section data.

It reads the preamble, not just the aliquot.

Township, range, section, and the quarter and quarter-quarter calls all come out of the description itself. Nothing to type in.

It lands on the real section grid.

Section-corner lookup resolves where that section actually sits, so the shape is georeferenced from the start instead of floating until someone places it.

Tied to the corners the boundary hangs on.

On PLSS land the GLO section corners are the framework. That is what we place against, and what you can check the result against.
