Kentucky State Plane Coordinate System
Geodetic Information for the Commonwealth
Governance | Stakeholders | Resources
♦
Welcome to geodesy.ky.gov. The purpose of this site is to provide pertinent information about geodesy and geodetic activities relevant to the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Here you will find access to detailed information regarding the Kentucky State Plane Coordinate System (KSPCS), including recently enacted statutes, administrative regulation, and the KSPCS Standards and Specifications document.
You will also be presented with important links regarding the National Geodetic Survey’s (NGS) effort to establish new geodetic datums and reference frames by the year 2025. Although currently under construction, we hope this site will eventually grow to become the definitive one-stop resource for all your geodetic needs within the Commonwealth.

The Kentucky State Plane Coordinate System Standards and Specifications Document was adopted by the Kentucky Geographic Advisory Council during its first meeting of 2021.
This document represents the culmination of a concerted effort made possible through the contributions of individuals who all share a common interest in supporting geospatial activities throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky and beyond its borders, particularly given the national importance of the State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS). A list of stakeholders can be found at the bottom of this page.
The Standards and Specifications document is incorporated by reference in Title 200, Chapter 041, Regulation 010.
