The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service Watch, Warning, and Advisory Display map shows up-to-date weather warnings and advisories for the continental U.S. The map covers a wide range of weather hazards including tornadoes, thunderstorms, hurricanes, tropical storms, flash and coastal floods, blizzards, winter storms, snow, freezing rain and ice storms, and high winds.

Users can click on individual parts of the map for more specific information down to the county level.

The Kentucky Geological Survey's interactive map provides scanned document information and location data related to Kentucky's mineral resources and their associated commodities; fluorite (fluorspar), galena (lead), sphalerite (zinc), barite, iron, nitrates, and phosphates. By clicking on individual points or regions of interest, users can access reports, drill-hole logs, cross-sections, field descriptions, lab analyses, maps, and legal information.

The interactive map also includes a 1:24,000-scale map of Kentucky's geology and faults.

The Kentucky Geological Survey's interactive map of Class I and II wells provides the locations of disposal and injection wells in the state of Kentucky. The wells displayed on the map are those used for industrial waste disposal (Class I), salt water (brine) disposal (Class II), and enhanced recovery wells for oil and gas production (Class II). The map allows users to select individual wells to access more detailed information, such as the operational status of the well, the company associated with the well, the accompanying geologic formation, and more.

The Kentucky Geological Survey provide an interactive map of water wells and springs in Kentucky. Users can explore the map to find more detailed information for each feature, including the type of spring, well depth, primary well use, and links to well and spring reports. The map also includes outlines of sinkholes in Kentucky.

The U.S. Geological Survey's WaterWatch program maps below-normal 7-day average streamflow, identified through comparison to historical streamflow readings, to produce their DroughtWatch map. The map identifies drought conditions ranging from extreme hydrological droughts to below normal streamflow conditions across the entire U.S.
