Historically, coal, oil, natural gas, limestone, sand and gravel, clay, fluorite, barite, lead, iron, phosphate, zinc, and brines have been produced in the State. These resources have greatly influenced the development of Kentucky by providing raw materials for the early settlers who settled the State and for current industrial and economic development. Electrical power for homes, businesses, and factories; materials for constructing houses, buildings, automobiles, and roads; and products we consume in everyday life come from the earths mineral and fuel resources. The ability to locate and efficiently use raw materials is important in virtually all economic activity in the State. The purpose of this 1:500,000-scale map is to show the general locations of the principal mineral and fuel resources in Kentucky. The Geologic Map of Kentucky (Noger, 1988) is at the same scale as this map and has additional geologic information about these resources. For detailed information about geology and mineral resources, consult the 7.5-minute geologic quadrangle maps for Kentucky. Coal occurs in two regions of Kentucky: the Eastern Kentucky Coal Field (a part of the Appalachian Basin) and the Western Kentucky Coal Field (a part of the Illinois Basin). Kentucky has been among the top three coal-producing states for more than 50 years. Kentuckys remaining coal resources, estimated at 90 billion short tons, are also among the largest deposits in the United States. Limestone and dolomite are mined in Kentucky for a variety of products, including construction aggregate, lime, cement, and agricultural limestone. Coal-related industries use limestone for controlling acid drainage, mine reclamation, explosion abatement in underground mines, and in scrubbers at coalburning power plants to reduce sulfur emissions entering the atmosphere. One of the largest operating limestone quarries in the United States is located in Kentucky. Kentucky has an estimated original petroleum resource of 2.3 billion barrels of mobile oil, 3.4 billion barrels of heavy oil, and more than 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas resources. At least 0.75 billion barrels of oil and 4.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas have been produced in Kentucky. In western Kentucky, oil and some natural gas are produced primarily from Mississippian and Pennsylvanian rocks. In central Kentucky, oil and natural gas are produced from Ordovician Selected References and Silurian rocks. In eastern Kentucky, oil and natural gas are produced from Silurian, Devonian, Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian rocks. In the past, a variety of ore minerals, including fluorite, sphalerite, galena, and barite, were mined in Kentucky. At the time of its peak production during World War II and in the mid-1960s, the Western Kentucky Fluorspar District was one of the worlds largest producers of these minerals. Monroe, Cumberland, and Clinton Counties of the South-Central Kentucky Mineral District are known to have mineral deposits that contain zinc. The Central Kentucky Mineral District has produced barite, sphalerite, fluorite, calcite, and galena. Although there is no mining activity in any of the districts at the present time, mining companies continue to explore these areas for economic deposits. Iron ores and phosphate minerals were mined in Kentucky before higher grade deposits were discovered elsewhere in the United States. A variety of minerals classified as clay materials are mined in Kentucky, including common clay, ceramic and ball clays, refractory clay, and shale. These materials are used in the manufacture of brick, china, and pottery, and have been used as industrial absorbents and lightweight aggregate. Sand and gravel are mined in Kentucky and are used extensively as construction materials and aggregate for roads and buildings. Common and silica sands have been mined for concrete and glassmaking, respectively. Sands bearing titanium minerals are found in the Jackson Purchase Region of western Kentucky. Tar sands (asphaltic sandstone) mined in west-central Kentucky have been used as road aggregate and are also a potential source of petroleum. Geologists at the Kentucky Geological Survey have investigated the mineral and fuel resources of Kentucky for more than 150 years, as mandated by Kentucky Revised Statute. Questions concerning the mineral and fuel resources of Kentucky should be directed to the Director, Kentucky Geological Survey, 228 Mining and Mineral Resources Building, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506-0107. The Kentucky Geological Survey maintains the official State repository of oil and natural gas drilling records, the official Ground-Water Data Repository, the Kentucky Well Sample and Core Library, and other databases on coal, minerals, geology, maps, and paleontology. This information is used by thousands of citizens each year.
