Kentucky

The Ohio River and Kentucky’s rolling limestone terrain define much of Kentucky — they support farming, horse breeding and river-linked trade. Mammoth Cave, in the state’s south-central area, is part of the world’s longest known cave system, while the Cumberland Plateau gives eastern Kentucky a more rugged character. Bourbon distilling is closely associated with the state, and Louisville’s Churchill Downs has hosted the Kentucky Derby since 1875. From fertile Bluegrass country to forested uplands, Kentucky connects several distinct American landscapes. See how Kentucky fits within the wider American interior by browsing webcams nearby.
