The Impact Craters of Kentucky

Map from 1965 Geological Society of Kentucky Field Trip, based on US Geo Survey Prof Paper 501-B, by Douglas F.B. Black.

We have three. They are roughly half a billion years old and very heavily eroded.   The following links show scanned images of geologic maps of Kentucky, and cross sections showing the structure of the underlying rock, a description of how to get there, and what you will see.

The Kentucky Geological Survey gave me a lot of help preparing this. They are a great source of information.
