OUR HISTORY
Three generations of Photogrammetric Mapping
In 1951, Carlos Arriagada worked for the Chilean Geographic Military Institute (GMI) and was assigned with a military commission to survey the terrestrial boundary limits between the frontier of the Republic of Chile and Argentina. After many months out in the field, he decided to pursue the field of Photogrammetry and attended the Chilean Institute of Geodetic Survey and the Panama Institute of Geodetic Survey. Prior to coming to the Untied States he was a Photogrammetry professor at the Chilean Geographic Institute.
In 1962 he was offered a Photogrammetric position at Surdex Corporation in St. Louis, Missouri and immigrated to the United States with his wife and four children. In 1977, he founded C&C Aerial Mapping Services located in San Dimas, CA. Carlos introduced his daughter Beatriz to Photogrammetry at an early age and in 1994 she incorporated Central Coast Aerial Mapping in San Luis Obispo with her son Robert Lafica (Carlo’s Grandson).
