About Acre & Atlas
Land research tools built by a mapping professional, not a marketing team.
The problem
Buying land at a tax sale is mostly homework. Is the lot reachable from a road? Does it flood? Is it a swamp, a cliff or a strip too narrow to build on? Is it really the size the record says? Answering that for one parcel takes a while across half a dozen government websites. Answering it for a whole county list takes days, and the sale doesn't wait.
The Tax Sale Shortlist does that homework for every lot on the list, the same way each time, and puts the deal-breakers first. Every check names its public source (USGS elevation, FEMA flood maps, the National Wetlands Inventory, Census roads and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery) and says plainly when something needs a closer look in person.
Who's behind it
I'm Case Robertson, MS, and I run Acre & Atlas from Florence, Alabama. I've spent 17 years turning geographic data into maps and products that people make decisions with:
- Maxar Technologies, geospatial manager for nearly seven years: I ran quality control for geospatial products with teams of up to 20 analysts, and cut production time in half by automating the workflow in Python.
- goHUNT, senior GIS manager: I built the data pipelines behind the maps in a customer-facing app.
- Utility and fiber networks: GIS coordinator for Electric Cities of Georgia, and today GIS and project management for fiber-to-the-home network design.
I hold a Master of Science in Geographic Information Systems from Penn State, where I also helped teach the graduate course in advanced mapping.
Acre & Atlas brings that same habit, checking every record the same way, to land buyers.
