Use this entry to understand locality and geological context, then resolve the exact parcel, ownership, access, mineral rights, safety and removal authority before treating any occurrence as a collecting site.

Condition to resolve: Exact site and collection authority required.

The marker is approximate north west context — state geometry for Northern / western Kentucky, Kentucky. It is intentionally approximate and should not be interpreted as a specimen coordinate or as proof that collecting is authorized at the marker itself.

Who manages the place or provides the evidence context?

The recorded manager or context is KGS / research context.

What evidence supports this status?

The record was last reviewed on 2026-08-29. Evidence and management context: KGS / research context. Included for complete Kentucky research coverage without weakening public-land, private-rights, mine/quarry, roadcut, waterway, cave, fossil, hazard or closure gates. Program or rule context: NONE.

How precise is the map marker?

The marker is approximate north west context — state geometry for Northern / western Kentucky, Kentucky. It is intentionally approximate and should not be interpreted as a specimen coordinate or as proof that collecting is authorized at the marker itself.

What should I verify before going?

  • Current land ownership and the exact parcel or managed activity footprint.
  • Posted closures, seasonal restrictions, opening hours, fees and permit requirements.
  • Mining claims, mineral rights, private-property boundaries and road or trail access.
  • Whether the material and collecting method you intend to use are actually allowed.
  • Current safety conditions, including weather, fire, water, tides, unstable workings, traffic and other site-specific hazards.

When was this information last checked?

The recorded review date is August 29, 2026. Treat that date as the evidence snapshot used for this classification. Conditions can change after review, so field decisions should use the newest posted rules and manager information.

Is a map pin the same as collecting permission?

No. A map pin answers a navigation or geographic-context question. The status and evidence answer the permission question. Exact coordinates, public destination addresses and approximate county or regional context are deliberately kept separate so geographic precision is not confused with legal authority.

Field-use reminder: never infer collecting rights from proximity, a map marker or a geological occurrence. Verify the exact place, manager, current rule and collecting activity before removing material.
