The new mapping presented represents four new 1:24,000-scale (or greater) surficial geologic maps located along the actively developing I-65 corridor south of the Louisville metropolitan area. The study area is also situated in a geologically unique area that will provide an opportunity to examine relationships of surficial deposits to groundwater resources, geologic hazards (radon, sinkholes, and landslides), and Quaternary landscape evolution of the Midwest United States. This project has been designed to fulfill the long-range mapping plan of the Kentucky Geological Survey and the KSGMAC, will build upon previously funded (FY2013-2014, FY2014-15, FY2015-16, FY2018-2019) U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP projects along the I-65 corridor, and provide detailed surficial geologic datasets for Bullitt County and Hardin County compilation maps.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> Funding for this research was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP award# G19AC00236 and the Kentucky Geological Survey.
