After 10 years of having the waterfall database, it has been completely reworked and rebuilt.  Please check it out HERE.

There are quite a few new features, a new look, better mobile experience, and a new map that blows the old ones away.  The remaining websites will slowly be updated to this new format in the coming months.  In the meantime, the Landform Map will loose some data, each time a type of landform is updated to a new website.  Right now, waterfalls will no longer be on the landform map, until that map gets the same update.  To see waterfalls just click on the top Waterfalls and then map of click HERE to see the new waterfall map for yourself.

Hopefully this update of the waterfall database is well loved.  You can provide feedback about the new website by filling out the beta feedback form that is located on the new waterfall database.  This is the time to give feedback, as this site will be the basis of all the other databases and websites.  

There are some exciting updates to the website.  

First up is the Landforms Map.  You know it as my favorite thing on the website, and now it includes the May 2025 Tornado path that went through Russel, Pulaski and Laurel Counties, so you can see where the destruction was through the national forest and stay away from those areas.  The map now also includes all Kentucky WMAs as well as all Kentucky State Park lands on it.  Still working on nature preserves, federal lands, as well as a couple others.  Lastly, I have added the rainfall since midnight as a layer from Kentucky Mesonet.  It is turned off by default but give it a try and play with the new layers and trying different combos.

Next up is the new Leads Map, which is a new map that I am using to test out a new map look.  Please go check it out and let me know your thoughts on it.  Would love to have some feedback.  Submit any feedback on the map, your wishes for items, layers, etc. to be included on the new retooled maps HERE.

The waterfalls database and website have been broken for a couple years and I have been unable to update it due to needing to rebuild the backend of the website.  I am currently doing that and looking for alpha testers that want to review and give feedback.  If you want to be part of giving feedback and input on features for the updated waterfalls website, that will eventually be pulled into the other databases, please give your information and feedback HERE.  Just your name, email and in the thoughts area let me know why you want to help.  I am hoping to have this up and running in the next couple of weeks and invitations sent out at that time.

I have created a heat map of all the arches and false arches and windows that are in the database.  This map is at the below link on the arches website.

Arches Heat Map is found in that link.  Below is a preview.
