Kentucky Wild Rivers (Corridors)

Boundaries of Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Public Hunting Areas. These are both Wildlife Management Areas (WMA), Hunting Access Areas, Outdoor Recreation Area, and areas for which there is some kind of public hunting allowed (liek state forests and state parks). The current hunting and trapping guide should be referred to for specific regulations. Tracts of different ownership are merged into a single polygon for each of the public hunting areas. Not all WMAs are in public ownership. Some are privately owned and have short term agreements to allow public hunting access. There are two other feature classes, " Wildlife Management Areas" and "Non_WMA_Hunting_Area_tracts" that are broken down by tract. That Wildlife Management Area feature class includes the ownership for each tract of the WMA.

This dataset contains the Commonwealth of Kentucky Boundary. The State boundary along Ohio River has been updated to reflect the Supreme Court Case regarding a boundary dispute between Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio in 1980 (Ohio v. Kentucky, 444 U.S. 335 (1980).  Online Linkage: https://ky.box.com/v/kymartian-ky-state-polygon

The location of wastewater assessment areas for each public wastewater system in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Wastewater assessment areas are geographical sections of public wastewater systems. Each wastewater system is divided into sections, or assessment areas, using its own methodology that is specific to the system’s planning and development needs.

These data were developed as a subset of the 24k NHD Blueline Streams. An additional field indicating whether the segment falls under the river miles included by USACE in public notice has been added. The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000-scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. This high-resolution NHD, generally developed at 1:24,000/1:12,000 scale, adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. (Data for Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands was developed at high-resolution, not 1:100,000 scale.) Local resolution NHD is being developed where partners and data exist. The NHD contains reach codes for networked features, flow direction, names, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined on waterbodies and the approximate shorelines of the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. The NHD also incorporates the National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework criteria established by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.
