Blazing Maps, LLC

Geospatial data services;  over 25 years of applied GIS technology.


Currently focused on working with community solar developers to identify suitable properties for development. We sort through tens to hundreds of thousands of parcels to find the ones that meets specific search parameters. Integrating environmental features, proximity to electric grid infrastructure, buildable areas and NREL irradiance are a few of the approximately 30 parameters we research for developers and provide in an easy to review format. We can find the needles in the haystack, or we can create the same summary information for pre-selected parcels or project areas.

Applied GIS Technology Examples

Oblique View of Lake Flooded at Elevation

Terrain Modeling from LiDAR Point Clouds

Process and extract LiDAR point data to build DEMs for various applications such as hydrologic modeling and volumetric calculations.  

Also process and create Digital Surface Models (DSMs) to incorporate above ground features such as trees and buildings into line-of-sight analysis.
