Surficial Geologic Map Of The Rising Sun 7.5-Minute Quadrangle, Kentucky, Steven L. Martin, Antonia E. Bottoms, Maxwell L. Hammond Iii
Contract Reports--KGS
The Rising Sun 7.5-minute quadrangle is located in northern Kentucky in the Outer Bluegrass physiographic province (McFarlan, 1943). The area is underlain by Upper Ordovician limestone and shale, and is characterized by low- to medium-relief topography. The oldest rock unit in the quadrangle is the Point Pleasant Formation, which consists of interbedded limestone and shale, and is exposed at the base of the bedrock uplands area south of Lower East Bend Bottom. The shale-dominated Kope Formation overlying the Point Pleasant Formation is exposed in most stream channels and underlies the valleys and hillslopes in the quadrangle. The Kope Formation is …

Surficial Geologic Map Of The Patriot 7.5-Minute Quadrangle, Kentucky, Maxwell L. Hammond Iii, Antonia E. Bottoms, Steven L. Martin
Contract Reports--KGS
The Patriot 7.5-minute quadrangle is located in Boone, Gallatin, and Grant Counties of northern Kentucky in the Outer Bluegrass physiographic province (McFarlan, 1943). Broad to narrow ridges, steep hillsides, and the Ohio River Valley characterize the topography of the quadrangle. The Ohio River has been made navigable by a series of high-level dams, and the Markland Locks and Dam controls the river level in this area (Ray, 1974). The bedrock geology, originally mapped by Swadley (1969), consists, from oldest to youngest, of the Point Pleasant Formation, the Kope Formation, the Fairview Formation, the Bellevue Tongue of the Grant Lake Limestone, …

Contract Reports--KGS
The Newport 7.5-minute quadrangle is located in the Outer Bluegrass physiographic province (McFarlan, 1943) in the Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area of northern Kentucky and includes parts of Kenton and Campbell Counties. Topography is characterized by a relatively broad expanse of upland with moderate relief that is bounded by the Ohio River Valley, Licking River Valley, and Fourmile Creek. Gibbons (1973) mapped the bedrock geology of this quadrangle, which was later digitized by Sparks (2002). The entire quadrangle is underlain by horizontal Ordovician limestone and shale, consisting of the Point Pleasant Formation, Kope Formation, Fairview Formation, Bellevue Tongue of the Grant …
