Tractor Man gets advice on Oil and Gas Maps

About: Wants to know availability of Adair Co KY oil maps

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Google "Ky oil and gas." You should come up with an Oil and Gas Map Portal. Although the last couple of times I have tried to view the site, it was not working, it is still the only game in town of which I am aware.

Wants to know availability of Adair Co., KY oil maps

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Is there a public document showing the location of oil wells in Adair County? Curious to know how many and in what geologic layers. Wouldn't it be awful to dig a well for water and hit oil!

By Shamarie Claiborne

The Race is on... I have three days left to pack two boys and myself for the adventure of a life time. Truth be known, I am a little stressed but excited at the same time. So many things to take care of before I leave to ensure there is a place to come home to, coupled with the stress of does everybody have everything they need, has made for an interesting week in and of itself.

Metcalfe/Monroe Co. road to Tennesee moves into design phase

New work on KY 163/Tompkinsville RD, along with the coming new interchange of US 68/Greensburg RD at the Louie B. Nunn, will dramatically improve highway travel between Adair County and Metcalfe and Monroe Counties -CM

By Kiersten Jaggers, KY Department of Highways

BOWLING GREEN, KY - Serving as the primary north-south connector for south Metcalfe County, KY 163 begins at the Tennessee state line and travels northward through Monroe County to intersect with US 68 in Edmonton, linking Monroe and Metcalfe counties to the broader highway network of the Commonwealth.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet conducted a planning study in 2007 that included an analysis of conditions along KY 163, US 68, and KY 80. Funds have since been provided for design of two projects developed from that study - a new interchange of US 68 with the Cumberland Parkway east of Edmonton, and a western bypass around Edmonton - as well as five spot improvements and two bridge replacements along KY 163 between Edmonton and KY 90. There is not yet funding for right of way acquisition, utility relocation or construction.
