US Forest Service MVUM Trails in Kentucky

This feature class depicts Forest Service trails where motorized use is allowed. It contains information on the specific type of motor vehicle and their seasons of use. The feature class is consistent with the appropriate National Forest's Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM). Non-motorized trails are not included in this data. Trails in this feature class are legal for some motorized use for at least a portion of the year. Any reference to Open or Dates Open refers strictly to when it is legal to use that motor vehicle on the trail. It is not meant to describe when the conditions would be appropriate for that use. As an example, a trail may be designated open to motorcycles all year long but there may be periods of time when snow depth prevents the use of motorcycles on that trail. It is compiled from the GIS Data Dictionary data and tabular data that the administrative units have prepared for the creation of their MVUMs. This data is published and refreshed on a unit by unit basis as needed. Individual unit's data must be verified and proved consistent with the published MVUMs prior to publication in the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW).

Recreational Trailheads in Kentucky

This service provides access to an aggregated set of recreational trailheads in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. State agencies such as Kentucky State Parks (KYPARKS), Department of Fish & Wildlife (KDFWR), Kentucky Nature Preserves (KNP), and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) will contribute to this dataset. The data structure is based on the Kentucky Trails Mapping Standard adopted by the Kentucky Geographic Information Advisory (GIAC) in 2023. Updates will align with agency data update schedules.
NRCS SSURGO Soils in Kentucky

Data represents a copy of Standard SSURGO from USDA-NRCS. The 85 separate KY SSURGO Survey areas have been appended by USDA-NRCS-KY into file geodatabase format (and corrected for topology rules/gaps/overlaps). The File GDBs also contain an extensive list of ‘pre-built’ attributes compiled from official SSURGO tabular data by USDA-NRCS KY. The GIS data is also provided in shapefile format by Soil Survey Area (85 separate) and by County (120 separate). This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizing maps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct base and digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotely sensed and other information. This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data and computerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey area extent format and include a detailed, field verified inventory of soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatable pattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown at the scale mapped. A special soil features layer (point and line features) is optional. This layer displays the location of features too small to delineate at the mapping scale, but they are large enough and contrasting enough to significantly influence use and management. The soil map units are linked to attributes in the National Soil Information System relational database, which gives the proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.

Kentucky ZIP Code Boundaries

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) are approximate area representations of U.S. Postal Service (USPS) ZIP Code service areas that the Census Bureau creates to present statistical data for each decennial census. The Census Bureau delineates ZCTA boundaries for the United States, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands once each decade following the decennial census. Data users should not use ZCTAs to identify the official USPS ZIP Code for mail delivery. The USPS makes periodic changes to ZIP Codes to support more efficient mail delivery. The Census Bureau uses tabulation blocks as the basis for defining each ZCTA. Tabulation blocks are assigned to a ZCTA based on the most frequently occurring ZIP Code for the addresses contained within that block. The most frequently occurring ZIP Code also becomes the five-digit numeric code of the ZCTA. These codes may contain leading zeros. Blocks that do not contain addresses but are surrounded by a single ZCTA (enclaves) are assigned to the surrounding ZCTA. Because the Census Bureau only uses the most frequently occurring ZIP Code to assign blocks, a ZCTA may not exist for every USPS ZIP Code. Some ZIP Codes may not have a matching ZCTA because too few addresses were associated with the specific ZIP Code or the ZIP Code was not the most frequently occurring ZIP Code within any of the blocks where it exists. The ZCTA boundaries in this release are those delineated following the 2020 Census. Download Link: [https://ky.box.com/v/kymartian-zip-code-boundaries]
Kentucky's Physiopgraphic Regions (Simplified)

Standard physiography is based on the landforms that are characteristic of a region, which are strongly influenced by the underlying rock units. This also strongly influences groundwater occurrence. This shapefile has taken the original physiographic regions of Kentucky and modified them to better designate hydrogeologic characteristics. The Inner Bluegrass, Outer Bluegrass and Knobs regions have been consolidated into a single “Bluegrass Region” due to the similarity of rock units and aquifers. Likewise, the Eastern and Western Pennyroyal have been combined into a single “Mississippian Plateau” Region to denote the similarities across that area. Due to the unique nature of the deposits and wide use of the aquifer, the “Ohio River Alluvium” has been added as its own separate region.

Ky KGS Geological Structure Contours, 1:24,000 Scale

Stuctural contours of varying datum digitized from the 1:24,000 Geologic Map Series maps. Structural contours were constructed by geologic map authors when the original geologic maps were published during the Kentucky geologic mapping program (Kentucky Geological Survey - U.S. Geological Survey from 1960 to 1980). Contoured formations were determined by the quadrangle map author, so contour datum may vary across quadrangle boundaries. Therefore contours are not based on the most recent subsurface data and should only be used as a general guideline for the underlying geologic structure. Contours are in feet above sea level, and may vary in contour interval across quadrangle boundaries. Please note that some contours are projected above the land surface.

Dedicated state nature preserves are established solely to protect and preserve rare species, the natural environment, or exceptional natural scenery or environmental education opportunities. State Nature Preserves available in this layer are open to the public for hiking only. Hiking trails are closely regulated to protect the natural integrity of the preserve so that it may be passed on unimpaired to future generations. Certain preserves are only open for scientific research at this time and are not available in this layer.
Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund Areas

Established in 1990, the Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund (KHLCF) is the primary source of state funding for the purchase and management of natural areas. It is used to purchase land from willing sellers for nature preserves, state parks, state forests, wildlife management areas, environmental education areas, wild rivers and wetlands. The KHLCF Board protects each site in perpetuity with a conservation easement or deed restriction. Legislation established four priorities for land conservation: areas that are a habitat for rare and endangered species, areas important to migratory birds, areas that perform important natural functions that are subject to alteration or loss, or areas to be preserved in their natural state for public use, outdoor recreation and education.
Ky KGS Geological Structure Contours, 1:24,000 Scale

These data provide users with a basic geologic framework of mapped structure contours for the state of Kentucky. These data were created with funding from the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Act's STATEMAP Program, administered by the U.S. Geological Survey. KGS utilized this program to convert existing 7.5-minute geologic quadrangle maps to digital format. The goal of the digital mapping program is to establish a mapping database that links the graphic data with their geologic components. The data are produced and distributed by the Kentucky Geological Survey. Stuctural contours of varying datum digitized from the 1:24,000 Geologic Map Series maps. Structural contours were constructed by geologic map authors when the original geologic maps were published during the Kentucky geologic mapping program (Kentucky Geological Survey - U.S. Geological Survey from 1960 to 1980). Contoured formations were determined by the quadrangle map author, so contour datum may vary across quadrangle boundaries. Therefore contours are not based on the most recent subsurface data and should only be used as a general guideline for the underlying geologic structure. Contours are in feet above sea level, and may vary in contour interval across quadrangle boundaries. Please note that some contours are projected above the land surface.
