3DHP Flowline Features in Kentucky

The 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) data is an integrated, National, 3D-enabled hydrologic dataset derived from the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) data. For areas where Elevation-derived Hydrography (EDH) has not yet been collected, 3DHP data is supplemented by hydrologic vector data from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). As further EDH data is collected, it will replace the NHD data in those areas. 3DHP data ingested from EDH sources includes ‘value added’ catchments and flowline network derivative attributes. All the data is open and non-proprietary. However, users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this dataset was collected and that some parts of this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Users should not use this data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations. This dataset is not intended to be used for site-specific regulatory determinations. 3DHP datasets include a three-dimensional (3D) hydrography network generated from, and integrated with, elevation data from the 3DEP to better represent stream gradients and channel conditions, along with waterbodies, hydrologic units, hydrologically enhanced elevation and other surfaces, and more consistent and accurate attributes. This product is new in federal fiscal year 2025 (FY25), and consists only of vector data in a series of feature classes. The product represents the 3DHP dataset and the schema in which it is contained as of September 30, 2024 Future Annual Staged Product releases will reflect the schema at the time the product is generated and include more EDH-sourced data holdings.
Gas Distribution System Overlapping Polygons in Kentucky

The areas of overlap are derived by creating geodatabase topology from the data for Natural Gas Distribution Service Areas. This is created by using tools from Data Management / Topology, which are: Create Topology, Add Rule to Topology, Add Feature Class to Topology, and then Export Topology Errors. This data is useful for symbolizing maps, or checking the appearance of overlapping symbolization. The user may want to select areas that cover a significant amount of area.

Sinkhole Coverage in Kentucky

These data represent digital GIS sinkhole coverage for all of Kentucky. The highest elevation, closed, topographic contour of each mapped sinkhole was digitized as a GIS polygon. The second highest elevation contour was also digitized where very large, shallow, karst valleys were so expansive that the area covered by the polygon obscured patterns in sinkhole distribution. These karst valleys are mostly confined to the Western Pennyroyal. The spacing of contour intervals on the topographic maps of the state vary in from 40 foot to 10 foot. No attempt was made to use a constant elevation, standardize the outline to a uniform contour interval, or record the elevation of the digitized contour. Digitization was done onscreen using digital raster graphic files of the 7 ½ minute topographic contours, registered and projected to the Kentucky State Plane coordinate system.

Electric Service Areas in Kentucky (PSC)

This is a coverage of the service areas of electric suppliers in the state of Kentucky. The polygon attribute table identifies the service territories; the arc attribute table gives the regulatory classification of boundary segments. The establishment of geographical service areas for retail electric suppliers, the rights of utilities operating within their own territories, and the requirement of map submission to the Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) are provided for in Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) sections 278.016 to 278.020. The certified territory maps are the legal documents that define the retail electric service area of electric suppliers regulated by the Commission (Kentucky Statute 278.017). All of these maps are on file at the PSC. They have been scanned and are available as PDF documents. Most of them are USGS topographic maps from the 1980s signed by both utilities and stamped by the Public Service Commission. These were used to compile this coverage. The positions of service area boundaries on this coverage are estimated to be accurate within 100 feet. These digital boundaries are for informational purposes only, and have no legal standing.

KYAPED Hydro-Enforced Breaklines Phase 3 (2023 - Present)

Product: Breakline data is used to hydroflatten the DEMs created for the KYAPED_Lidar_2023 project. Breaklines are reviewed against LiDAR intensity imagery to verify completeness of capture. Geographic Extent: 79 counties in Kentucky, covering approximately 18050 total square miles. Dataset Description: The KYAPED_Lidar_2023 project called for the planning, acquisition, processing, and derivative products of lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.71 meters. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base LiDAR Specification, 2023 Rev. A. The data were developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD 1983 StatePlane Kentucky FIPS 1600 Feet, Foot US and vertical datum of NAVD88 Geoid 12b, Foot US. LiDAR data were delivered as processed Classified LAS 1.4 files formatted to 20384 individual 5000 ft x 5000 ft tiles, as tiled intensity imagery, and as tiled bare earth DEMs; all tiled to the same 5000 ft x 5000 ft schema. Continuous breaklines were produced in Esri file geodatabase format. Ground Conditions: LiDAR was collected in winter 2022 and 2023, while no snow was on the ground and rivers were at or below normal levels. In order to post process the LiDAR data to meet task order specifications and meet ASPRS vertical accuracy guidelines, NV5 Geospatial utilized a total of 226 ground control points that were used to calibrate the LiDAR to known ground locations established throughout the project area. An additional 561 independent accuracy checkpoints, 331 in Bare Earth and Urban landcovers (331 NVA points), 230 in Tall Weeds categories (230 VVA points), were used to assess the vertical accuracy of the data. These checkpoints were not used to calibrate or post process the data. [https://ky.box.com/v/kymartian-kyaped-breaklines-p3]

Kentucky Area Code Boundaries

Area Codes were defined by grouping exchange areas. Area codes are part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for the Public Switched Telephone Network in the United States and its territories, Canada, Bermuda, and many Caribbean nations. NANP numbers are ten digits in length, and they are in the format: NXX-NXX-XXXX, where N is any digit 2-9 and X is any digit 0-9. The first three digits are called the numbering plan area (NPA) code, often called simply the area code. The area codes are usually assigned to a discrete geographic area, except for some numbers such as 800 that transcend specific geographic boundaries. “Overlay plans” are used to introduce new area codes by taking one fixed geographic area and concurrently applying multiple valid area codes throughout that area.
Ky Public Service Commission Local Exchange Carriers

Telephone exchanges in Kentucky define a geographic area in which telephone prices and services are the same. This may be referred to as a rate area. The concept of exchange area is based on geography and regulation, not equipment . An exchange area polygon has only one operating company, which may be referred to as a local telephone company or incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC or LEC). Area Codes and LATAs (Local Access Transport Area, which is the area local telephone companies are permitted to offer local or long distance telecommunications services), are defined by grouping exchange areas.
