Huntington Gardens

Zephyr Rail flies this 207-acre iconic Los Angeles cultural site every year, providing a historic record of the gardens, after its first mission proved to be a cost-effective way to geolocate specific garden features, significant flora and facility structures.

The Huntington is a collections-based educational and research institution established by Henry E. Huntington and Arabella Huntington in San Marino, California, first purchased in 1903. It houses a library, an extensive art collection with a focus on 18th and 19th century European art and 17th to mid-20th century American art, and 120 acres of specialized botanical landscaped gardens, including the “Japanese Garden,” the “Desert Garden,” and the “Chinese Garden.”

Every year, Zephyr Rail produces beautifully detailed prints of the mission for the Huntington. The prints are posted around campus, used in meetings, kept as a historic record, used for safety planning and hung as artwork to showcase the current garden.

Data provided includes aerial mapping, planimetric data marked with garden features, roadway limits, parking lot areas, sidewalk limits, paths, and building bounds identified and drawn out, and a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) denoting the ground surface of the entire garden.
