Kentucky River Basin, Daniel I. Carey
Kentucky River Basin, Daniel I. Carey
Map and Chart--KGS
The Kentucky River Basin's nearly 7,000 square miles in 42 counties contain 16,000 miles of streams. From a hill in Letcher County 3,250 feet above sea level, and the Kentucky River runs down the Eastern Kentucky Coal Field, Knobs, and Bluegrass Regions to the Ohio River at 420 feet above sea level.
Along the way the river washes rocks laid down as sediments over a period of 150 million years—past the 300-million-year-old sandstone, siltstone, shale, and Camp Nelson limestones at the base of the Kentucky River Palisades in central Kentucky.
Residents draw about 100 million gallons of water per day …
Generalized Geologic Map For Land-Use Planning: Breathitt County, Kentucky, Daniel I. Carey, Sally Sloan
Generalized Geologic Map For Land-Use Planning: Breathitt County, Kentucky, Daniel I. Carey, Sally Sloan
Map and Chart--KGS
This map is not intended to be used for selecting individual sites. Its purpose is to inform land-use planners, government officials, and the public in a general way about geologic bedrock conditions that affect the selection of sites for various purposes. The properties of thick soils may supercede those of the underlying bedrock and should be considered on a site-to-site basis. At any site, it is important to understand the characteristics of both the soils and the underlying rock.
