Cartographer?

Some sort of drafting? Maybe shipbuilding or something? Back in the 1970s in CA, I imagine it could be something related to the defense industry.

"First woman to work in the Continental Can Company drafting room," says the movie voiceover. She was a drafter, which my mother was also.
