Landslides and Related Features (scale 1:24,000). These 7.5-minute quadrangle maps depict generalized slope-stability conditions as they existed at the time of field checking (1977 to 1979). They are available for most of southeastern and south-central Kentucky. Mapped units depict the dominant stability conditions within delineated areas. These are preliminary maps and are suited for general planning purposes only.

Landslide Potential maps have been scanned and geo-referenced to the Kentucky Single-Zone projection. Landslide Potential maps in MrSid format are available for download . Each landslide SID image has an associated "world" file (*.sdw). These files assist in georeferencing the image in Kentucky Single Zone State Plane Coordinates when using certain GIS and CAD packages. World files can be downloaded individually from the ftp site, or you can download all landslide potential sdw files in the landslidesdw.zip file.
