The latest in a series of maps from the Kentucky Geological Survey at the University of Kentucky depicts the economic and engineering geology of the Irvine/Stanton to Salyersville area and surrounding counties of east-central Kentucky. The map, entitled Geologic Map of the Irvine 30 x 60 Minute Quadrangle, Eastern Kentucky, is available in digital form at the KGS web site or as a printed publication from the KGS.
Thirty-two digitised 7.5-minute geologic quadrangles of the area, known as Digitally Vectorised Geologic Quadrangle (DVGQ) maps, were assembled to create the new geologic map. It was compiled and authored by Tom Sparks and Warren Anderson of KGS and Lance Morris, formerly a KGS geologist now with the City of Owensboro, Ky. It is the 15th of a series of such maps developed and published by KGS.
