2011 Map of Cave City

About this map

Cave City serves as the central hub of this Sharp County landscape, situated where local roads converge near the Cave City Post Office. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations such as Willmuth Hill and Smith Hill, interspersed with drainages like South Big Creek and Lick Fork. A significant history of prospecting and mineral extraction is evident through numerous labeled sites including the Matlock Mine, Story Mine, and the McLeod Prospect. Local genealogy is well-supported by a high density of burial grounds, from the Maxville Cemetery in the north to the Ball Cemetery in the southeast. Smaller residential areas and developments like Green Acres Estate and Jesse Pines sit alongside established crossroads like Maxville and Hickory Valley, while local water management is marked by structures like the Lake Cave City Dam and the numbered One Dam and Three Dam.
