Cemetery section plans, estate maps and town plans, many drawn by hand generations ago, scanned, cleaned up and traced into accurate digital maps on real-world coordinates, with every plot linked to its record.
Plans from A4 to A0 and beyond, scanned full size and in full colour, however faded or fragile.
Section plans and maps in several sheets joined into one continuous map, set on real-world coordinates.
Plots, paths, buildings, boundaries and trees drawn as separate shapes, so each can carry its own record.
Every grave or plot linked to its burial or estate record, and checked before the map goes live.
The original plan stays beneath as a historic layer, so nothing it records is lost.
Delivered for Epilog Cloud mapping, or as GeoJSON for your own mapping or GIS software.
Many cemeteries are still recorded on section plans drawn by hand. We join them into one map, trace every grave and link each to its burial record, so staff can find a grave in seconds and see at a glance what space is left.
Where an aerial survey has been flown, the old plans are realigned to it, so the map matches the ground. In Epilog Cloud, made by our sister company Gower, the finished map becomes the base for full historic tracking of every plot.
Estate maps record how a park, its avenues, water and farms changed over generations. We scan each plan and trace it into a digital map that can be laid over the others and over the ground today, for estate management, conservation plans and visitors.
For Boughton House in Northamptonshire we scanned the park plans of around 1705 and restored their colours, so clearly that the variety of each tree can be told.
IllustrationHand-drawn cemetery section plans scanned, joined into one map and traced plot by plot, with every grave linked to its burial record, for councils and crematoria across the UK.
Your plans, in whatever state they are in, and the burial or estate records you want linked to them. We collect them, or you bring them to the studio.

By the number of features drawn on the map: graves, buildings, trees and so on. Where no one has counted them, we estimate from the area. The price calculator gives an example figure.
Not always. Digitising works from your plans alone. A drone or LiDAR survey adds an accurate map of the ground today for the old plans to be aligned to.
