Kentucky Topography and Attractions

The name Kentucky may be derived from the Iroquois word "ken-tah-ten", which means "land of tomorrow" or from the Iroquois word for "prairie".  Much of Kentucky consists of rolling plains drained by the Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee Rivers.  The Pine Mountains in southeastern Kentucky overlook the Cumberland plateau region.  Tourist attractions in Kentucky include Mammoth Cave, Cumberland Gap National Historic Park, and the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site.  For more Kentucky travel and tourism information, visit the official Kentucky tourism site and Kentucky Atlas
