One of the things I have been gradually working my way through is defining the area each of these Mountain Dreams sites will cover. In general I am trying to adopt divisions of coverage within the states that already exist in some form on the different State Tourism Sites. In some states these divisions come naturally and consistently with our mountain theme, in others not so much.
The state of Kentucky has a division provided by the Southern & Eastern Kentucky Tourism Development Association that fits neatly with the county list I had arrived at from studying the Kentucky map. There were just a couple of counties they included that were not on my original list, so I’ll be happy to use their divisions and add those counties to my list.
Here is the list of counties in the divisions SEKTDA uses listed generally north to south…
