Answers
Bluegrass towns list: asked and answered
Which Kentucky places get a town page?
Kentucky incorporated cities counting 1,000 residents or more in 2020, plus Census-designated places over 2,500.
How are the miles measured?
As straight-line distance between the Census point of the Kentucky town and each lake, ramp or shop.
My Kentucky town has no page; what now?
Open its county page or type the name into the find box on the Kentucky page.
Is Lexington listed under its Census name?
Lexington-Fayette prints as Lexington; Louisville is the city page, not the metro remainder.
Do Kentucky town pages list tackle stores?
They list the closest shops that have a geocoded street address, each with its mileage.
Where do I find Corps release numbers near a Kentucky town?
Follow a lake or tailwater link; Corps readings print with their date on the water pages.
Why are some towns plain text?
Those Kentucky pages are queued for release and become links once they go live.
Is there one list of all Kentucky water?
Yes, the Kentucky A to Z lists every lake, river and tailwater with a page.
