Moore, Oklahoma + Remote

We solve location-based problems.

Using GIS, drones, remote sensing, weather-aware analysis, and custom software, we help people make smarter decisions about places.

Decisions they can trust.

What We Do

Turning geographic data into meaningful answers.

We combine aerial imagery, mapping, scientific analysis, weather knowledge, and custom software to deliver solutions that are useful to nontechnical audiences and credible to technical teams.

See Example Work
01

Aerial Photo & Video

Simple, polished drone photos and video for homes, land, buildings, listings, and project sites.

02

Remote Sensing & Drone Mapping

Satellite and drone imagery for land cover, monitoring, inspection support, and field-to-map workflows.

03

Weather & Hazard GIS

Storm, outdoor-warning, exposure, risk, and hazard-planning analysis for local decisions.

04

Custom Automation

Scripts, tools, and applications that turn repetitive GIS, data, or office tasks into repeatable workflows.

05

GIS, Webmaps & PDFs

Beautiful, accurate maps, embedded webmaps, report-ready PDFs, and interactive map experiences.

06

Data & Dashboards

Live dashboards, clear visualizations, and reporting tools that help teams act with confidence.

Selected Work + Demos

Applied spatial science, software, and decision support.

Selected examples show how maps, dashboards, automation, and spatial analysis can turn technical data into practical decisions.

PDF Map Deliverables

Clear, report-ready maps for technical and nontechnical audiences.

Static map products are still one of the best ways to communicate boundaries, land conditions, terrain, and planning context in reports, permit packages, briefings, and public-facing materials.

About

Spatial thinking, software discipline, and plain-language delivery.

Tillotson Spatial Systems brings professional geospatial experience, graduate-level spatial analysis, GIS software development, weather knowledge, and FAA Part 107 remote pilot certification into one practical consulting practice.

The approach starts with the decision: where should resources go, what is changing, who is underserved, what process can be automated, and what evidence will help people act?

The approach is practical: define the decision, organize the data, build the right map or tool, and explain the result in language that technical and nontechnical audiences can both trust.

FAQ

Common questions before starting a project.

Whether you need a simple aerial photo or a technical spatial workflow, the first step is figuring out what decision the work needs to support.

Do you work with individuals or only organizations?

Both. I can help property owners, small businesses, researchers, public agencies, and technical teams. The scope can be as simple as aerial photos of a property or as involved as GIS analysis, automation, webmaps, and decision-support tools.

Can you do simple drone photos or video?

Yes. I hold an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certification and can provide aerial photos and video for homes, land, buildings, listings, project sites, and general property documentation.

What if I do not know whether I need GIS?

That is normal. You can describe the problem in plain language: what place, property, route, risk, boundary, pattern, or process you are trying to understand. I can help translate that into the right map, analysis, dataset, dashboard, or automation workflow.

Can you make custom PDF maps?

Yes. PDF maps are often the right deliverable for reports, meetings, property packets, grant materials, field crews, and planning documents. I can also create webmaps when the project needs an interactive version.

Can you help evaluate outdoor warning sirens?

Yes. I can help municipalities and counties map existing sirens, estimate outdoor sound coverage, find gaps and overlap, and compare practical options such as keeping, relocating, replacing, or adding sirens. This can support tornado warning, severe wind, flash flood, hazardous-materials, or other local outdoor-warning missions, depending on local policy. The goal is to give emergency managers clear choices before major spending decisions.

Do I need to understand the modeling terminology?

No. The technical work can include sound propagation modeling, coverage accounting, and optimization, but the deliverable should be understandable: where coverage is strong, where it is weak, what options were tested, what they cost, and what tradeoffs local leaders need to consider.

Can you build webmaps or dashboards?

Yes. Interactive maps and dashboards are useful when people need to explore data, filter information, compare scenarios, or keep an operational view current without digging through raw files.

Can you automate repetitive tasks?

Yes. If you have a repeated GIS, data cleanup, reporting, file conversion, map production, or office workflow, I can often turn it into a repeatable script, tool, or small application.

How does meteorology fit into the work?

My meteorology background supports weather-aware spatial work: storms, warnings, exposure, hazard planning, environmental context, and risk communication. I do not position the business as an operational weather forecasting service.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. Many GIS, mapping, remote sensing, dashboard, and automation projects can be completed remotely. Drone work and some field documentation depend on location, airspace, weather, site access, and project timing.
