Lake & reservoir mapping in Kentucky
Kentucky's big TVA and Corps reservoirs draw anglers from across the country. Habitat, structure and vegetation maps help agencies and marinas manage that resource.
Kentucky has more than 220,000 acres of major reservoirs. Lake Monitor AI provides on-site bathymetric depth mapping, aquatic vegetation mapping, bottom composition and hardness mapping, fish and habitat mapping, side-scan imagery and GIS deliverables for waterbodies of every size across the state — from private ponds to major reservoirs.
