95West Aerial Mapping Takes Flight

95West Aerial Mapping, LLC, formerly KBM GeoSpatial, LLC, has rebranded to reflect and showcase the firm’s expanded capabilities. 95West provides aerial acquisition and geospatial services throughout the United States and Canada.

Effective September 30, 2021, KBM Geo has rebranded as 95West Aerial Mapping, highlighting the firm’s expanded capabilities, including:

  • Our newest fixed-wing aircraft: Cessna 208B Grand Caravan

What’s in a name?

The name 95West is a nod to the 95th meridian west of the prime meridian, which runs through the heart of 95West’s service area. Meridians are imaginary lines drawn north–south, from pole to pole, with numbering beginning at and advancing east and west from the Prime Meridian. Meridians are expressed as degrees, thus the design element captured by the logo. The colors represent earth and sky, as well as active energy (orange/rust) balanced with calm stability (blue).
