 Mass map columns?

Is there a way to mass map columns during an import? That's probably not the correct way to ask. I'll explain...

I have 12 flat files that I'm importing into 12 tables. Because of the way the data is stored in the flat files I'm having to manually map each field. I have a data dictionary and everything is in alphabetical order. So everything lines up between my data dictionary and the import utility. Seems silly to do these one at a time. Also seems like a waste of time to manually map these ~1500 columns.

I've been reading but I'm not sure what to even search for.

Thanks!
