Kentucky was the first state in the United States to be completely mapped topographically and geologically at a scale of 1 i inch to 2,000 feet (1:24,000). Kentucky was the first state to digitize their geologic map coverage and post those data on the web. These data have now been compiled and released at a scale of 1:100,000. These milestones and the future of geologic mapping are discussed in this podcast. The Kentucky Geological Survey is a research and public service institute that is part of the University of Kentucky. You can find us on the web at www.uky.edu/kgs.
