The following link displays a generalized,
existing land-use planning map based on geologic and
environmental analyses for each of Kentucky's 120
Counties. These maps were created by the Kentukcy Geological
Survey, based at the University of Kentucky, Lexington,
Kentucky. The maps provide information on how the underlying
rock in an area affects excavation and foundations, on-site
wastewater treatment systems, residential and industrial
developments, highway and street development, and pond and
reservoir construction. Photographs of sites in the area and
graphics depicting geologic hazards and building practices are used
to illustrate the geologic discussion. These colorful
maps serve as a valuable local planning tool, beneficial
to county judge/executives, health department personnel, road
department foremen, homeowners, developers, and
planners.
