Our scope is very broad based as is our clientele. We support the cartographic needs of all university departments, some state agencies, as well as private individuals and organizations in the community. We produce, primarily, thematic maps for our clients, but have been known to produce an occasional reference map (e.g. map of Lexington and environs, UK campus map). During our more than thirty years of mapmaking we have made thousands of maps for a diverse clientele.
