SIDESCAN Series
Big Sandy North Sidescan
Kentucky Lake (Tennessee)

Here is the Master Index map* for the new series. There are 5 major sections divided into a total of 25 extreme resolution sidescan maps.

This area includes the original topo coverage of the Big Sandy North set, plus an addition 1200 acres.

The total acreage of the area in color represents 3650 acres.

* Image resolution reduced to minimize download time.

There are individual index maps for each Section. They are very useful for staying oriented in the extreme zoom levels of the Sidescan images, not to mention the topography.

This a zoomed out view of Sidescan section 4B. The sidescan information is not useable at this range, but this may help orient you to the full resolution example below.

This is a near full resolution sample of Section 4B. It is roughly east/northeast of Sulphur creek on the east side of the Big Sandy River.

Keep in mind, this is just a small portion of Section 4B.

The same area to the left is depicted on the index map below.

The contour interval on all sidescan imagery is 1 foot!

Here is a full resolution sample of the index map showing Section 4B. The area outlined in white is the same area of coverage as the Sidescan image above.

The contour interval on the Section Index maps is 2 feet.

Here is a reduced resolution example of using the sidescan imagery with OziExplorer. Click HERE for full resolution screenshot.

The Shareware version of OziExplorer mapping software is provided on the disk. The unregistered version will work great with Kentucky HydroGrafx imagery. The registration fee would NOT BE REQUIRED for using the key features of Ozi.

That means you can create waypoints, tracks, or routes that can be uploaded to most GPS units.

Here is a reduced resolution sample of OziExplorer with a sidescan map loaded along with the index topo for Section 4. As you move around the sidescan image, the index map will follow.

This feature is critical to help stay oriented in the sidescan map.

Also notice the waypoints that have been created on structure features. The waypoints could then be uploaded to a GPS unit.

Waypoint #2 is on the stakebed mentioned previously.

A very functional shareware version of OziExplorer GPS Mapping software is provided on disk to get you started with precision fishing. The HydroGrafx images work flawlessly with this version.
