Summary

Creeks, streams and open drainage channels in Kenton and Campbell Counties within the boundary defined by Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet – Division of water. The dataset includes open drainage features classified as channels and swales, along named waterways such as the Ohio River, Licking River, and Pleasant Run Creek, and their unnamed tributaries.

Description

This data represents the creeks, streams and open drainage channels maintained by Sanitation District No. 1 (SD1). Each line segment connects an upstream structure to a downstream structure (US_STRUCT and DS_STRUCT), so it can be traced through the storm water network. Segments are classified by feature type as Channel or Swale, and include the waterway name where known. Unnamed tributaries are labeled “UT” followed by the name of the waterway they flow into (for example, “UT Ohio River”). Blue-line streams are identified in the Blueline field. Each record also includes its length, the date it was last modified, and the source of its most recent update; some segments were updated in 2025 using 2024 data from NV5. SD1 is the authoritative source for this data and reviewed it for quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC). Features are stored as 3D polylines (Polyline Z). Because this data comes from SD1’s regional dataset, it also includes Boone County. LINK-GIS serves Kenton and Campbell Counties only.
