VERTICAL MAPPING RESOURCES PROVIDES MAPPING SERVICES FOR THE ANGELES FOREST HIGHWAY.
Services provided will offer the framework for repairs and improvements to the Angeles Forest Highway.
March 11th, 2011, San Diego, Calif. - Vertical Mapping Resources, Inc., a leading photogrammetric and geospatial land information firm with offices in both California and Arizona, was recently contracted to provide digital mapping and B/W orthophotography services for approximately 20 linear miles of the Angeles Forest Highway in Southern California.
The Angeles Forest Highway traverses the Angeles National Forest and connects the Los Angeles basin to the Antelope Valley by going up and over the San Gabriel Mountains. The highway is variously known as County Road N-3 or FH-59 or the Palmdale cutoff. It is about 25 miles (40 km) long. The Angeles Forest Highway is maintained by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works.
VMR was tasked with providing 1”=20’ topographic mapping, with 1’ contours, and digital orthophotography of the project area. The project included acquisition of over 200 B/W aerial exposures for the stereoscopic feature collection and surface modeling. VMR also produced a B/W orthophoto mosaic of the site with a .15’ pixel resolution. CAD deliverables were provided in LA County Standards.
