Topographic Surveying Services

What is a Topographic Survey?

A Topographic Survey maps both natural and man-made features — including changes in elevation, land contours, vegetation, bodies of water, buildings, and utilities. It provides a visual and measurable representation of the site, going far beyond what a standard boundary survey offers.

At Eagle Surveying , we specialize in delivering detailed and reliable topo surveys throughout Greater Waco and the DFW Metroplex. By combining traditional land surveying techniques with state-of-the-art technology, we offer high-precision surface and elevation data to support planning, engineering, design, and permitting efforts.

Our surveys capture:

  • Natural features: Hills, valleys, waterways, tree lines, slopes, and terrain variations
  • Man-made elements: Buildings, roads, fences, utilities, drainage structures
  • Elevation data: Spot elevations and contour lines to show surface changes
