The Mapping Network, LLC is a business organized to perform Hydrographic and Sub-bottom profile surveys on lake and river systems for a wide range of clients throughout the United States. We operate from our office in Omaha, Nebraska along with fifteen highly trained Lake Management companies located around the country. We provide this service for a variety of client needs including generating bathymetry, sediment, and water volume information. The Mapping Network works directly with government organizations, lake associations, engineers, developers and dredging companies. Our company and personnel have been leaders in the development of tools and technology for hydrographic survey systems for over a decade. Since 1999, the staff at The Mapping Network began linking hydro-acoustic depth measuring equipment with Differential and RTK GPS receivers to create accurate and up to date bathymetry maps. Over the ensuing years, this technology has improved and our company has remained on the cutting edge of utilizing these systems to produce very accurate and cost effective bathymetry and sediment surveys.

Hydrographic Surveying Top: Contour map depicting one-foot elevation changes Bottom: Three-dimensional model of lake bottom Below: Contour map overlaid on a transparent threedimensional model
Sediment Surveying Top: Sediment Survey example - notice area in the southern portion of the lake that has been dredged. Bottom: This example is a zoomed view of the southern portion of lake notice the sedimentation that occurred when the house was built. Below: View of raw sonar data from 10 KHz transducer subbottom sediment profiling system.
Excavation Analysis Top: Excavation map example showing existing contours, proposed contours and removal depth and quantity calculations. Middle: This example is a dredge monitoring project. The color coded area is where dredging was performed. The red outlined portions are an estimate of how much sediment is yet to be removed. Bottom Right: The Excavation map below shows the area to be excavated that are less than 4 feet and how much sediment needs to be removed. Below: Sediment Map example showing probe locations and sediment thickness. Bot
Vegetation Mapping Top: Vegetation survey showing a side profile view, vegetation height scatter plot, and transect line overview. Bottom: Vegetation survey identifying invasive plants. Below: Rasterized vegetation map for percent bio-volume point data.
Sediment Profile Top: A 1983 and 2013 comparison sediment profile. Below: Sonar display of a soft sediment layer.
Additional Services Top: This image depicts a lake bottom hardness analysis. The blue areas are soft sediment and the yellow displays a hard bottom. Middle: After viewing the lake bottom hardness map further investigation by side-scanning sonar revealed a pile of rocks and tires. Bottom Right: Capacity curve example depicting gallons of water per foot of elevation. Below: Example of Downscan technology using sidescanning equipment.
