This map service is a one-stop location to view and explore Kentucky geologic map data and related-data (geologic outcrops, photos, and diagrams), Kentucky water wells and springs, Kentucky oil and gas wells. All features are provided by the Kentucky Geological Survey via ArcGIS Server services. This map service displays the 1:500,000-scale geologic map of Kentucky at scales smaller than 1:100,000, and 1:24,000-scale geological quadrangle data at larger scales. The 1:500,000-scale geologic map data were derived from the 1988 Geologic Map of Kentucky, which was compiled by Martin C. Noger (KGS) from the 1981 Geologic Map of Kentucky (Scale 1:250,000) by McDowell and others (USGS). The 1:24,000-scale geologic map data and the fault data were compiled from 707 Geological Survey 7.5-minute geologic quadrangle maps, which were digitized during the Kentucky Geological Survey Digital Mapping Program (1996-2006).The basemap data is provided via ArcGIS Server services hosted by the Kentucky Office of Geographic Information.Some tools are provided to help explore the map data:- Query tool: use this tool to search on the KGS database of lithologic descriptions. Most descriptions are derived from the 707 1:24,000 geological quadrangle maps. Once a search is completed, every unit that contains the search parameters is highlighted on the map service.- ID tools: users can identify and get detailed info on geologic units and other map features using either the point, area, or buffer identification tools.A few notes on this service:- the legend is dynamic for the viewed extent. It is provided via a database call using the current map extent.- the oil and gas and water wells are ArcGIS Server services that update dynamically from the KGS database.- the geologic map and faults are dynamic ArcGIS Server map services.- the user can link to other geologic data for the viewed extent using the links provided in the "Geologic Info" tab.- you can query the entire KGS lithologic description database and highlight the relevant geologic units based on the query.

LEOWEB 11 is a tool to convert geographic coordinates to PLSS legal land descriptions. The project is hosted at the Kansas Geological Survey and has been funded by Kansas GIS Policy Board and the Kansas Geological Survey. It is not a surveying tool and only provides an approximate conversion. The application runs via contemporary web browsers with server side interaction thru the Oracle APEX 4.0 environment.
