Kentucky was the first state in the United States to be completely mapped topographically and geologically at a scale of 1 inch to 2,000 feet (

,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.

The KYGeoCast is a podcast for anyone with an interest in the geology of Kentucky and geologic issues. Take us along as an audio field trip guide when you visit parks, hike, drive, or bike and learn about the processes that have shaped our Commonwealth. Produced by the staff of the Kentucky Geological Survey, University of Kentucky.
