I work with maps everyday. I'm cheap and my employer is cheap with me, but we've got to produce a lot of maps for compliance & business intelligence. The work is is mostly cleaning & standardization, with some user experience toward a particular audit purpose.

There are some much more lucrative niches, that have to do with chain-of-title, rights of way, resource rights, and so on, and I can imagine why anyone would pay to save, say, 20 hours a week.

Power interconnects for datacenter siting would be a hot example.
