VERTICAL MAPPING RESOURCES TO MAP TOWN OF PRESCOTT VALLEY

Scottsdale, Arizona, November 6th, 2003 – Scottsdale, Arizona-based Vertical Mapping Resources (VMR) is providing black-and-white and color digital orthophotography, digital terrain models and 1’ contours, and design scale planimetrics of an expansive area that extends primarily north and east of the Town of Prescott Valley covering approximately 175 square miles.

According to Joseph Bartorelli, VMR’s president, the mapping is being prepared at a scale of 1”=40’ and is designed to meet National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS), per client request. The mapping and digital orthophotography will encompass the Town of Prescott Valley, and include portions of Dewey and the area covered by the new Yavapai Fairgrounds and Racetrack (Yavapai Downs). A key technology being utilized for this extensive project effort involves using both Airborne GPS and inertial measurement unit technologies (IMU) to accurately record survey-grade phase centers for each exposure during flight. This is a highly accurate, cost saving technique that is new on the photogrammetric scene.

Vertical Mapping Resources, Inc. is a full-service geospatial information firm providing traditional and digital photogrammetric mapping, as well as state-of-the-art geotechnologies, imaging and land information consulting services.
