Source-derived summary

Kentucky supplemental roads and rural secondary highways are the lesser two of the four functional classes of highways constructed and maintained by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the state-level agency that constructs and maintains highways in Kentucky. The agency splits its inventory of state highway mileage into four categories:

The State Primary System includes Interstate Highways, Parkways, and other long-distance highways of statewide importance that connect the state's major cities, including much of the courses of Kentucky's U.S. Highways.

The State Secondary System includes highways of regional importance that connect the state's smaller urban centers, including those county seats not served by the state primary system.

The Rural Secondary System includes highways of local importance, such as farm-to-market roads and urban collectors.

Supplemental Roads are the set of highways not in the first three systems, including frontage roads, bypassed portions of other state highways, and rural roads that only serve their immediate area.

The same-numbered highway can comprise sections of road under different categories. This list contains descriptions of Supplemental Roads and highways in the Rural Secondary System numbered 1 to 199 that do not have portions within the State Primary and State Secondary systems.

KY 13

Kentucky Route 13 is a 5.516-mile-long (8.877 km) rural secondary highway in southern Nicholas County. The highway begins at the Bourbon County line at the South Fork of the Licking River; the route does not extend into Bourbon County. KY 13 heads north along Lower Jackstown Road, which parallels Taylor Creek north to where the route crosses and diverges from the stream at its junction with KY 3316 (Taylor Creek Road).

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of Kentucky supplemental roads and rural secondary highways (1–199)” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current 267-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where List, Kentucky and supplemental can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q104842958. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
