- The Animal Research Center is located in the Inner Bluegrass
Physiographic Region of Kentucky. The area around the farm
is characterized by rolling uplands with a maximum relief of 110
feet. The subwatersheds located within the farm drain to
the Pin Oak creek and the Camden Run creek. These two
creeks join together and flow to Glenns creek and eventually to
the Kentucky River.

- The ARC is composed of five distinct classifications:
Grier Member, Devils Hollow Member, Tanglewood Member, Brannon
Member, and Alluvium deposits. Due to the nature of the
limestone located within the area, several sinkholes and
swallets have been identified. A number of springs are
also present on the farm due to the underlying limestone.
