VERTICAL MAPPING RESOURCES PROVIDES MAPPING SERVICES FOR THE US NAVY AT SAN NICOLAS ISLAND
July 30th, 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 orthophotography services for the US Navy at San Nicolas Island.
San Nicolas Island serves as a detachment of Naval Base Ventura County. In addition to Port Hueneme and Point Mugu, San Nicolas Island is military owned and operated. San Nicolas was originally the home of the Nicoleño people, who were probably related to the Tongva of the mainland and Santa Catalina Island. It was named for Saint Nicholas by Spanish explorer Sebastián Vizcaíno after he sighted the island on the saint's feast day (December 6) in 1602. The Nicoleños were evacuated in the early 19th century by the padres of the California mission system after a series of conflicts with Russian-led Aleutian fur trappers decimated their population
VMR was contracted to provide 1”=40’ topographic mapping, with 1’ contours, and digital orthophotography of the entire northwestern portions of the island. The project included acquisition of aerial photography for the stereoscopic feature collection, surface modeling, planimetric collection and DTM creation. VMR also produced an orthophoto mosaic of the site with a .25’ pixel resolution. CAD deliverables were provided in AutoCAD Civil 3D.
