Drainage Areas Of Streams At Selected Locations In Kentucky

Drainage areas are presented for most sites where streamflow data have been collected in Kentucky, as well as other selected locations throughout the State. Areas were planimetered on U.S. Geological Survey topographic quadrangle maps, and balanced to known areas taken from Smithsonian geographical tables for areas of quadrangles of the earth's surface. Stream sites are listed in downstream order starting at the headwaters. At sites where streamflow data have been collected, U.S. Geological Survey eight-digit numbers are shown. All sites are identified by reference to the topographic quadrangle, county, latitude, longitude, and in some cases a nearby town or landmark. All intervening areas in Kentucky along the Ohio River have been computed and are available in the District office even though some are not included in this report. An alphabetical index by stream name is provided.
