Built from real data, not stock images.

Every Kentucky physical map on this page was rendered from NASA SRTM 30-meter elevation data, with hydrography from Natural Earth and state boundary from US Census TIGER/Line. The terrain texture is real — every ridge, valley, and elevation contour matches what you'd see on a USGS topo map.
