description:
|
This map is a layout of the KGS Geologic Map Information Service which activates layers that display the locations of known landslides and areas susceptible to landslides in a geologic and geomorphic context. The purpose of the map is to provide an overall view of landslide hazards across the state. Locations come from Kentucky Geological Survey research, published maps, state and local government agencies, the public, and media reports, thus making attributes and spatial accuracy highly variable. This map can be used to identify preexisting landslides and serve as a basis for landslide hazard and risk assessments. It is not intended for site specific investigations. The absence of landslides in an area does not infer that a landslide does not exist or that the ground is stable. A professional geologist or geotechnical engineer should be consulted for planned construction at identified landslide locations or identified landslide areas. A professional geologist or geotechnical engineer should also be consulted for slope stabilization and other mitigation efforts related to existing slides. The default Base Layer shown is a LiDAR-derived multi-directional hillshade (1.5 m). The LiDAR layer (Layers tab) can be adjusted for varying amounts of transparency and is particularly useful to view with the geology layers and/or the aerial photography Base Layer. There are five landslide data layers represented as either points, lines, or polygons. |
