About this map

The limestone karst topography of south-central Kentucky defines this 1935 landscape, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks connect the commercial centers of Horse Cave and Cave City. The map documents a unique subterranean economy with labels for Mammoth Onyx Cave and Wonderland Cave, highlighting the region's early tourism. Beyond the cave systems, the area is densely settled with rural educational and religious institutions, including Lee Seminary, Walton Academy, and Ragman Seminary.
