   Well
before the establishment of
the department in 1944, geography
courses on Physiography, Elements of Geography, Economic
Geography, Conservation of Natural Resources, Land Problems,
Geography of North America, and Geographic Basis of American
History were offered since 1923 in departments of Geology,
Economics, History, and Agriculture.  |
 Central
Kentucky's spectacular “natural” environment was
deemed to offer unlimited potential for farming and development
by eighteenth century explorers and surveyors. By the 1840s
travelers visiting the region wrote glowing reports describing
the beauty of the rural countryside farms and Lexington’s
business and residential districts. It was called the "Athens
of the West" and
today is the principal city of the Bluegrass Region. |
 The
geography department is located on the 14th floor of the Patterson
Office Tower and in Miller Hall. Class is usually held in
the Whitehall Classroom Building. Within a short walk are numerous
computing labs, libraries, and lounges. |
