Professional Topographic Surveys & Mapping Since 1995

Since 1995, Bill Eimstad and W.J. Eimstad Co. have provided professional land surveying services backed by decades of field experience and a commitment to precision. Our topographic mapping services provide a clear understanding of existing site conditions, helping clients identify opportunities, reduce costly surprises, and keep projects moving forward efficiently.

What Is a Topographic Survey?

A topographic survey maps both the natural and man-made features located on a property. Using advanced surveying equipment and proven methodologies, we collect precise elevation and location data to create detailed topographic maps that accurately represent the land and its existing conditions.

Topographic surveys typically identify:


  • Ground elevations and contour lines
  • Hillsides and slopes
  • Drainage patterns
  • Creeks, streams, and water features
  • Trees and vegetation
  • Buildings and structures
  • Fences and retaining walls
  • Roads and driveways
  • Utilities and visible infrastructure
  • Property improvements
  • Significant site features and terrain changes
  • 

The resulting map provides critical information for engineering, architectural design, permitting, construction planning, and land development projects throughout Eugene, Springfield, and Lane County.

Why Topographic Mapping Matters


Before any significant land improvement project begins, understanding the existing conditions of a property is essential. Accurate topographic data provides the foundation for informed planning and successful project execution.


Site Development Planning

Developers, engineers, and land use professionals rely on topographic surveys to determine how a site can be developed while accounting for terrain, drainage, access, and existing improvements.


Residential Construction

Whether you're building a custom home, shop, barn, ADU, or accessory structure in Eugene, Springfield, or the surrounding area, accurate elevation information helps ensure proper site design and grading.


Land Partitions & Subdivisions

Topographic mapping often supports land partitions, property divisions, and subdivision projects by identifying terrain challenges, drainage concerns, and development opportunities early in the planning process.


Drainage & Stormwater Design

Understanding how water flows across a property is critical for effective stormwater management. Topographic surveys help engineers design drainage systems that reduce erosion and improve site performance.


Utility Planning

Topographic surveys assist with utility design and installation by accurately locating existing improvements and identifying potential conflicts.


Road & Access Design

Roadways, driveways, and access improvements require detailed elevation information to meet engineering standards and local requirements.

    A boundary survey identifies property lines and corner locations, while a topographic survey maps elevations, contours, structures, utilities, and physical features located on the property.

    In many cases, yes. Engineers, architects, builders, and local jurisdictions often require topographic information before designing improvements or issuing permits.

    Project timelines vary based on property size, terrain, vegetation, accessibility, and project complexity. We can provide a timeline after reviewing your specific project.
