New Adair County geological map will help builders John Halsey of Knifley has written us that a new easy-to-understand geological map is now available from the Kentucky Geologic Service (KGS). The map was developed with non-geologists in mind, so it's easy for most people to understand. The map has many familiar photos from Adair County, along with lots of details (407 square miles, highest elevation 1,120 feet near Sparksville; lowest 585 feet where Russell Creek leaves the county, etc.) It gives strategies on pond construction, building constructions, details on wetlands, rock formations, radon in the county, Adair County is one of over 90 counties for which the new geologic maps are available. The map is a simplified land use map which should be an aid to anyone wanting to build in Adair County. A sample of the map is now on display in the hallway of County Judge Executive (CJE) Ann Melton's office. (Check the Adair County Public Library as well, they will likely have one.) The online map is awkwardly big and the download is quite slow. A full-color map, like the one in the CJE's office, can be ordered for $10, or, in laminated form, for $15.25 plus KY sales tax and shipping. To order, call the Kentucky Public Information Center at the University of Lexington in Lexington, KY (877) 778-7827. A copy of the map is online at a link he sent, Generalized Geologic Maps for Land-Use Planning Purposes. The download is very slow, even with cable or DSL.
