Commonwealth Map Updated
The Commowealth Map has received several updates over the past few weeks. Forested areas information was added at some of the initial scales, road data was updated, and 2012 KyFromAbove imagery was added for Boone, Fayette, and Jessamine Counties. Symbology and labeling was also adjusted a bit and the underlying service was given a bit more horsepower. Another update is planned for mid-2013 that will include new imagery for the entire 2012 KyFromAbove acquisition area.
