Maps of Shelby County's agricultural land uses and other features (2003 - 2005):

In early 2002, Maintain Our Rural Environment received funding of $20,000 from the Kentucky PACE Corporation and $10,000 from the Shelby County Fiscal Court as part of a $42,000 project to promote a local Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) program. A PDR program would buy the development rights from farmland owners so that the land would be retained for agricultural uses. MORE used some of the project funds to purchase a laptop computer and GIS software. From 2003 through 2005, MORE surveyed the county for agricultural uses. MORE also cost-shared with the Shelby County PVA to digitize the PVA plats. From these various activities, MORE generated the maps below.
