Transform Paper to Polygons with Our Legal Description Mapping Software

Part of our Whitestar Explorer solutions, TruePOLYGON is our pinpointed automapping technology that extracts analog legal descriptions and transforms them to query-able digital polygons.

Map legal descriptions the way you’ve always imagined, with TruePOLYGON.

  • Experience grid granularity like no other.

    Our accurate, proprietary national land grid makes mapping legal descriptions a breeze and eliminates the guesswork of sub-section mapping.

  • Extract legal descriptions automatically.

    Our legal description mapping tool uses natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) to automatically detect and map legal descriptions, bearings, and distances based on original deeds, leases, and more.

  • Pinpoint detailed map elements.

    Home in on section, township, and range as well as lots, tracts, and quarter-quarter descriptions (LTQQs) — no additional software or data investment required.

  • Work flexibly across platforms.

    Built on the industry’s largest GIS workbench (ESRI ArcGIS Pro), TruePOLYGON integrates easily into existing applications, enabling you to feed descriptions into our referential grid database and plot polygons accurately.

“It’s such a simple philosophy – mapping things by legal description – that it amazes me how much it has driven efficiency in our processes. We might look at ten projects in a day, and the very first thing we need is to see it on a map. With Whitestar, our turnaround time for that map is incredibly fast. We’re more effective than ever, and our costs have been reduced dramatically.”

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.


“Whitestar was patient and helpful whilst we laid out our project goals with them, even providing design methods we did not think of to better match our project goals. They were able to read the legal descriptions from our water rights legal documents and construct a precise and actionable polygon grid that represented the survey description. Would definitely choose Whitestar again.”

— Henry Anderson, Deputy Watermaster, Honey Lake Valley RCD
