Drone Survey Flight Planning for Mineral Claim Staking
Python tooling that turns claim boundary geometry into flight grids and staked corner coordinates.
pythondrone surveyGISgeojsonmining claims
Built a set of Python scripts to take mining claim boundary data (GeoJSON/KML from BLM claim records) and generate drone survey flight grids covering the claim area, plus a corner-location reader that converts staked corner-post coordinates into a format usable for field verification and further GIS work.
The pipeline reads claim geometry, private-land exclusion boundaries, and existing claim-post locations, then produces a flight grid and exportable KML/GeoJSON layers ready to load into flight-planning software and GIS tools used in the field.
