History

• Olympus has been in business since 1965,
  performing photogrammetric surveying and
  consulting engineering for private companies and
  government agencies on the federal, state and

History, cont.

• In the 1970s Olympus was a pioneer in orthophoto
  products. Our Zeiss aerial camera was the first
  in use in the Intermountain area by a private
  organization. In the 1980s we were the first to
  offer digital mapping. By the 1990s Olympus had
  purchased the first Softcopy workstation and was
  providing digital orthophotos to accompany our
  digital mapping products.

Aerial Photography and Photographic Products,
cont.

• Our aerial photography can be cropped to your
  specific project requirements. We fly speculation
  photography for our mosaics, areas of significant
  growth and other areas of interest to add to our
  vast historical photo library. This speculation
  photography is available to the general public in
  both hard copy and digital formats, in sizes and
  scales appropriate to your needs.

Aerial Photography and Photographic Products,
cont.

• Our aerial photo library has photography we have
  secured since 1965 and other photography we have
  purchased from the U.S. Government taken in the
  1950s and earlier years. This historical
  photography covers the Wasatch Front and most
  cities and towns in the Intermountain area. These
  photos are used for land use information.
