DISCLAIMER: This map is subject to revision upon receipt of new hydrologic data. The unshaded area (shown in
white on the map) is karst. The shaded area (shown in light brown) is largely underlain by noncarbonate rocks and
has minimal development of karst. Karst features are only shown in those areas where tracer tests have been conducted.
The user should consult the “References Cited” for additional information.

This map shows karst ground-water basins in the Campbellsville quadrangle, determined primarily by ground-water
tracer studies. It can be used to quickly identify the ground-water basins and springs to which a site may drain. Major
springs and the relative size of their catchment areas can be evaluated for potential as water supplies. The map also
serves as a geographic index to literature on karst ground water in the area.
This map is designed for regional and preliminary hydrologic investigations. Features such as springs and swallets
are much too small to precisely locate on this map with a scale small enough to show regional relationships. The user
is referred to the literature for detailed site descriptions. The data used to compile this map were obtained by numerous
investigators over the last 25 years. The underflow spring draining a ground-water basin is assigned a unique identification
number, referred to as the AKGWA number (Assembled Kentucky Ground Water Database). Individual basins are
identified by the underflow spring name and AKGWA number. The authors of tracer data are identified by number
in the “Data Source” column of the key, and are listed in “References Cited” in order of publication or research date.
Although ground-water flow routes shown here have been established by tracer studies, with the exception of mapped
cave streams, the precise flow paths are unknown and are inferred or interpreted using water-level data, geologic
structure, or surface features. Arrows show the direction of ground-water flow and tracer recovery locations. Conduit
flow is illustrated as either thick trunk-flow lines or thin tributary-flow lines. The locations of some ground-water
basins are inferred, based on the existence of a significant spring system and the delineation of adjacent basins. The
position of ground-water basin boundaries should be considered approximate because of the map’s scale and because
boundaries can shift during high-water conditions. Also, excess flow may exit or enter a basin via surface or subsurface
overflow routes. Additional overflow routes probably exist. Although most of the results of ground-water tracing
shown on this map were obtained during moderate- or high-flow conditions, the ground-water basins are illustrated
in base flow because base flow is the most common flow condition. The main spring draining the basin is assumed
to be an underflow spring that preferentially drains base flow. Overflow springs discharge during high flow.1 Generally,
names of ground-water basins are derived from these main springs. Not all additional springs are shown because of
the small map scale.

Selected KGS reports published before 1999 have been scanned and converted to PDF
format. Scanned documents may not retain the formatting of the original publication. In
addition, color may have been added to some documents to clarify illustrations; in these
cases, the color does not appear in the original printed copy of the publication. Every
effort has been made to ensure the integrity of the text. KGS maps and charts are supplied
either whole or in part and some are too large to be printed on most plotters. Open-file
reports are reproduced from the best available copy provided by the author, and have not
undergone KGS technical or editorial review.
