Terrain, Elevation, Contours & Hillshade

See the shape of the land, not just the colour of it.

Aerial imagery can make steep or complex terrain look deceptively flat. Elevation and relief products reveal the landform much more clearly.

CDS can combine available terrain datasets and, where suitable, current field capture to create clear visual products for understanding slope, fall, ridges, low points, access context and the physical shape of a property.

Outputs

  • Elevation overview
  • Contour maps
  • Hillshade
  • Multidirectional hillshade where useful
  • Slope visualisation
  • High / low point context
  • Direction-of-fall interpretation
  • Terrain-focused map plates

Best suited for

  • Rural owners
  • Buyers considering steep or irregular land
  • Builders reviewing site context
  • Developers
  • Civil / earthworks clients
  • Agents marketing complex land where a clearer site explanation adds value

From approximately $900 as a standalone terrain package. Terrain work can also be bundled with Property Intelligence, Drone Mapping, Rural Mapping or construction site capture. Indicative pricing only.
