Description:

Abstract:: A compiled set of FAULT features for the state of Kentucky as digitized by the Geospatial Analysis Section, Digital Mapping Team. Data set is derived from the 7.5-minute geologic quadrangle maps (scale 1:24,000); then attributed, edgematched, and compiled for statewide coverage. The data are produced and distributed by the Kentucky Geological Survey.
Purpose:: These data provide users with a basic geologic framework of mapped surface faults 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 geologic 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. STATEMAP mandates the collection of five major types of data: geologic, geochemical, geophysical, geochronological, and paleontological. Of the five components, geologic data has the most subcategories. Examples of subcategories include quadrangle, lithology, formation, faults, fossils, minerals, engineering, and environmental properties.
