Our ​Services

GPS & GIS Mapping

Mitchell Environmental provides GPS and GIS mapping services to maximize data reliability and usefulness for our clients. We use equipment and software capable of sub-meter accuracy which is acceptable to the US Army Corps of Engineers and the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) for mapping jurisdictional features such as wetlands, surface waters and riparian buffers. Our mapping services are also very useful for soil evaluations, septic system designs and environmental investigations.


We can analyze and manipulate multiple layers of geographic information. We combine AutoCAD and GPS data to produce digital maps and other geospatial products.
