The overlook database has been updated. You can now check out the database which has 137 overlooks, 135 of which are on the map. Check them out on the Overlook Map or on my favorite site feature, the Landform Map, which has everything on it!
If you know of something not on the map, something that is incorrect, or you have a picture to add to a landform, please SUBMIT HERE.
The waterfalls and overlooks have been updated on the maps. If you haven't done so yet, please check out the Landform Map to see everything in one place. This map has been upgraded and all the layers are now able to be turned on or off and other new features have been added as well. Check them out and play around with this powerful map. All the maps are now automatically updated, so there will no longer be a lag between what is available on the website and what is shown on the maps. This is huge! The waterfalls and overlooks are still being worked on for updating with new photos added, information added as well as there are still overlooks and waterfalls being added to the databases. So stay tuned to see what will be added in the next couple of months.

The landform map has been updated to include the latest update on www.kyarches.com. It includes all 391 arches now.
There has been some good work on the backend of the sites in the past couple of months for updating the different databases as well as making the site and databases even more automated. If you have not checked out the Landform Map, I highly suggest it, since it shows everything on one convenient map. Also, LiDAR and Aerial imagery have been added to several of the maps including the Waterfall, and Landform Maps. The aerial imagery does not cover the entire state, but it covers all of Daniel Boone National Forest and is at a 6" pixel resolution. Making it quite the resource for checking out overlooks and other geological features! Thanks to Bill Fultz for the dedicated work on updating and correcting the database entries.
The Overlooks are close to being updated and are nearing in on 150 overlooks. After that, the largest database, Waterfalls, is to be updated with quite a large amount of new content.
The overlooks are now over 50 documented and available on the website. This also includes those in the Breaks Interstate Park, which is a park owned by both Kentucky & Virginia. See the maps above, and the list of overlooks above as well on the main menu.
