Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present the experiences of one state in obtaining and utilizing modern topographic data and to direct attention to a few of the uses of the published maps and by-product materials. This involves the history of the mapping program in Kentucky; the general specifications for such mapping, techniques, and equipment used; the progress of the program; the state's facilities for distribution and filing of topographic data; and the outlook for the completion of the program. Good maps are invaluable to the efficient development of the United States, and it is hoped that this paper may be useful to others for initiating or expanding “topo” activities.
