This map is not designed for site specific use. Information used to construct this map was interpreted and generalized from over 800 Geologic Quadrangle Maps (1:24000) and selected Hydrologic Investigations Atlas Maps (1:24000) published by the USGS in cooperation with the KGS. The purpose of this map is to inform the public, land-use planners and managers, and governmental officials about the naturally occurring potential for groundwater contamination across the state. A rating of low sensitivity indicates that groundwater is naturally well protected from surface contaminants, although not necessarily immune from long-term pollution. High sensitivity ratings indicate that, in general, groundwater could be easily and quickly impacted by surface activities. For additional information about this map, please contact: Kentucky Division of Water Groundwater Branch 14 Reilly Road Frankfort, Kentucky 40601-1189, (502) 564-3410. The Commonwealth of Kentucky has produced this document using unverified data, and therefore makes no warranty, express or implied. With regard to it accuracy.

It should be assumed that boundaries are not precisely depicted, and should be surveyed if exactness is required.
