Boundary Surveys
A Boundary Survey is one of the most common and important types of land surveys. It precisely identifies the property lines and corners of a parcel of land based on recorded deeds, plats, and physical evidence on the ground. This type of survey is essential for landowners, buyers, developers, and attorneys to clearly establish the limits of ownership, resolve boundary disputes, or prepare land for construction.
At Foresight Land Surveying, our licensed surveyors use state-of-the-art equipment and extensive records research to locate and mark property boundaries with accuracy and reliability. Clients typically request a boundary survey when purchasing property, building a fence or structure near a property line, subdividing land, or verifying acreage.
Our deliverables include a detailed plat of survey, clearly showing property lines, monuments set or found, easements, encroachments, and other relevant features. With more than two decades of experience across Indiana and Kentucky, we ensure every survey is conducted with precision and in full compliance with professional standards.
Subdivision & Land Division Surveys
A Subdivision or Land Division Survey is performed when a parcel of land is divided into smaller tracts, lots, or development areas. This type of survey is typically required by local planning and zoning authorities before land can be sold, developed, or recorded as separate parcels. It establishes new property boundaries, easements, roadways, and utility layouts while ensuring compliance with subdivision control ordinances and applicable state regulations.
At Foresight Land Surveying, we provide complete subdivision services—from initial planning and design through the preparation of final plats for recording. Our team coordinates closely with local planning commissions, utility providers, and engineers to create legally accurate and buildable divisions of land. This process often involves detailed mapping, monumentation of new corners, and the integration of zoning and development requirements.
Our deliverables include recorded plats that clearly define new lots, road rights-of-way, and utility easements, providing a reliable foundation for development and sale. With extensive experience across Indiana and Kentucky, we help landowners, developers, and municipalities navigate every step of the subdivision process with accuracy, compliance, and efficiency.
ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys
An ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey is the most comprehensive type of survey available and is performed in accordance with the standards jointly adopted by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). This survey is often required by lenders, title companies, attorneys, and commercial developers as part of real estate transactions, providing a complete picture of a property’s boundaries, improvements, easements, rights-of-way, and other significant features that may affect ownership or development.
At Foresight Land Surveying, we conduct ALTA/ACSM surveys with meticulous attention to both fieldwork and records research, ensuring compliance with national standards and lender requirements. These surveys not only confirm boundary locations but also identify potential issues such as encroachments, zoning restrictions, and access limitations that could impact land use or financing.
Our deliverables include a detailed, professionally certified survey plat that meets or exceeds ALTA/NSPS specifications, giving all parties involved in the transaction a clear and reliable foundation for decision-making. With decades of experience across Indiana and Kentucky, our team provides the accuracy and thoroughness required for even the most complex commercial projects.
Topographic Mapping
A Topographic Survey provides a detailed representation of the natural and man-made features of a property, including elevations, utilities, drainage patterns, site improvements, and other physical characteristics. This type of survey is often required by engineers, architects, and contractors during the planning and design phase of new construction, infrastructure upgrades, or land development projects. It ensures that all critical surface features and terrain variations are accurately documented for design and permitting purposes.
At Foresight Land Surveying, we use advanced GPS, robotic total stations, and GIS technologies to capture precise elevation data and site features. Our team carefully maps structures, roadways, utilities, trees, and topographic contours to provide a complete picture of existing site conditions. This data allows design professionals to identify opportunities, constraints, and potential challenges before construction begins.
Our deliverables include detailed topographic maps and digital data files compatible with AutoCAD and other design platforms, ensuring seamless integration with engineering and architectural workflows. With decades of experience across Indiana and Kentucky, we deliver accurate, reliable mapping solutions that help clients make informed decisions and move projects forward with confidence.
DNR, Federal Conservation & Floodplain Surveys
Conservation and Floodplain Surveys are specialized services designed to meet the requirements of state and federal agencies while protecting landowners’ interests. These surveys are often needed for compliance with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, FEMA, or other regulatory authorities. They may include documenting wetlands, riparian zones, or conservation easements, as well as verifying elevations in designated flood hazard areas. Proper documentation ensures that land development, agriculture, or conservation projects remain in compliance with environmental and floodplain regulations.
At Foresight Land Surveying, we provide detailed surveys for conservation easements, mitigation sites, and habitat preservation areas, along with FEMA-related services such as Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA), Letters of Map Revision (LOMR), and Elevation Certificates. Our experienced team works with landowners, engineers, and regulatory agencies to deliver accurate field data and documentation necessary for approvals, permitting, or flood insurance adjustments.
Our deliverables include certified plats, elevation certificates, and digital mapping that clearly depict protected areas, conservation boundaries, and floodplain elevations. With decades of experience across Indiana and Kentucky, we offer the technical expertise and regulatory knowledge needed to navigate conservation requirements and FEMA floodplain standards, giving clients confidence in both compliance and long-term land management.
