Show hunting and recreational land the way buyers read it.

Relief, cover, water and access are the pitch. A DirtFlight pack puts all four on one parcel with the boundary drawn, in about ten minutes from the APN.

Aerial 3D view of a 277 acre wooded parcel in Columbia County, Washington, with ridges, draws and open slopes and the boundary outlined

Short answer

Buyers of hunting and recreational land look for terrain, cover, water and access. A DirtFlight pack shows the parcel boundary on an aerial, four 3D views and an orbit video, plus a contour map with elevation stats, streams and ponds with perennial told apart from intermittent, wetland and flood acres, a land health infrared view and road frontage. PayDirt Pro adds LiDAR canopy and bare-earth views where LiDAR exists. It does not show game, sign, stands or trails, and it does not recommend food plots. Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.

What recreational buyers ask, and what the pack shows.

Buyer question and the matching view
The buyer asks	What the pack shows	What it does not do
How rough is the ground?	Contour map with elevation stats, 3D views from four sides and an orbit video.	It is not a trail map and does not rate difficulty.
Where is the cover?	The aerial and an infrared land health view. PayDirt Pro adds a LiDAR canopy surface where LiDAR is available.	It does not identify tree species or stand age.
Where is the water?	Streams and ponds with perennial told apart from intermittent, plus wetland and flood zone in acres.	It does not say whether a stream holds fish or runs in every season.
Can I get in?	Road frontage hero, an access view and a context map showing the roads around the parcel.	It does not show easements or legal access. Confirm those in the deed.
Where could I camp or build?	Buildability by slope in acres, flood zone, and soils and septic limitations per soil map unit.	It is not a perc test or a building permit.
Who are the neighbors?	The context map shows surrounding parcels and roads.	It does not show hunting leases or ownership.

Real parcels

Ridges, draws, timber and openings, on the actual boundary.

Three real parcels in three different kinds of hunting country, each rendered from its parcel number.

Aerial 3D view of a wooded Ozark parcel in Arkansas with hardwood ridges, small pastures and openings, boundary outlined — 144 acres, Newton County, Arkansas. Ozark hardwoods with pasture openings. Relief on the parcel is 818 feet.

Aerial 3D view of a wooded Appalachian ridge parcel in West Virginia in fall color with hayfields along the bottom — 333 acres, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Appalachian ridges in fall color, hay ground in the bottom.

Pop-out 3D photo of a Washington timbered draw and open slope hunting parcel lifted off the landscape with dirt walls — 277 acres, Columbia County, Washington. A pop-out of the Blue Mountains foothills: the whole tract lifted off the land.

Terrain for ATV, UTV and trail use.

Contours show where the ground is gentle and where it is steep, and the 3D views show how a ridge or a draw sits on the whole tract. Buildability by slope reports acres of flatter ground, which is where most campsites, cabins and landings go. Tight contour lines mean steep, wide spacing means flat. The pack does not map existing trails, so walk the ground before you promise a route. Buildable: ground outside mapped slope, flood and wetland areas. A screen, not a zoning, septic or permit approval.

How steep it really is.

Buildability by slope paints the ground over 25 percent in red, with flood and wetland in blue, and reports the acres left. For a hunter that is the quick read on where the steep side hills are and where a camp, a landing or a stand access could sit. The contour lines under it show the draws and benches. Buildable: ground outside mapped slope, flood and wetland areas. A screen, not a zoning, septic or permit approval.

Buildability map of a West Virginia ridge parcel with slopes over 25 percent in red and stream flood zones in blue — 333 acres, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Slope over 25 percent in red, flood and wetland in blue, buildable acres in green. Buildable: ground outside mapped slope, flood and wetland areas. A screen, not a zoning, septic or permit approval.

Food plots and cover, said carefully.

The pack gives you ingredients, not recommendations: soils per soil map unit, open ground versus canopy on the aerial and the infrared view, and slope. A buyer can use those to think about where a plot might go. DirtFlight does not tell a buyer what will grow or what game will use, and a listing should not claim it either.

PayDirt Pro feature

Canopy and ground under the trees.

PayDirt ProOn PayDirt Pro, where LiDAR exists, two more views show what the aerial cannot: how tall the timber is, and the ground with the trees taken away. The openings, benches, old roads and draws show up as clearly as the ridges. These are PayDirt Pro features, and the views appear only where LiDAR coverage exists.

LiDAR canopy height map of an Arkansas hunting parcel with open ground in brown and timber height in green and blue, boundary outlined — 144 acres, Newton County, Arkansas. Canopy height: brown is open ground, green to blue is timber from young to mature.

LiDAR bare-earth shaded relief of an Arkansas hunting parcel showing ridges, draws, benches and old roads with the trees removed — 144 acres, Newton County, Arkansas. Bare earth: the ground with the trees removed, so benches, draws and old roads show.

Cover and ground shape only. It does not show game, sign or what a plot will grow.

Water, wetlands and flood.

Streams and ponds are drawn with perennial and intermittent told apart. Wetland and flood zone are measured in acres inside the boundary. For a recreational buyer that answers whether a creek crossing, a pond or a low wet bottom comes with the tract, and for a seller it heads off the question before the first call.

Ponds, creeks and bottoms in view.

Straight answers

Questions people ask about this.

Can I see the terrain of a hunting property before I visit?

Yes. The contour map with elevation stats, four 3D views and an orbit video show relief and the lay of the land from the APN, in about ten minutes.

Does DirtFlight show deer, bedding areas or food plot sites?

No. It shows terrain, cover, water, access and soils. It does not show game or sign.

Can it show streams and ponds on a property?

Yes, on Paydirt. Streams and ponds are drawn with perennial told apart from intermittent, and wetland and flood zone are measured in acres.

Does it work for ATV and UTV trail use?

Contours, slope and the 3D views show how steep the ground is. It does not map existing trails.

Is the canopy data available everywhere?

The LiDAR canopy and bare-earth views, part of PayDirt Pro and up, appear only where LiDAR coverage exists. The aerial and infrared views are available wherever the pack renders.

Are the boundary lines surveyed?

No. Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.
