2016 Map of Horse Cave

About this map

Horse Cave and Cave City anchor this 2016 survey, sitting along the intersection of the CSX railroad and the modern highway corridor. The landscape is defined by the unique karst topography of south-central Kentucky, evidenced by prominent depressions like London Pace Sink and numerous named high points such as Vial Knob and Huckleberry Knob. To the north, the Green River carves distinctive loops at Mansfield Bend and Lawler Bend, while the smaller Creacy Lake sits east of the main settlements. The map traces the boundary between Hart Co and Barren Co, showing a mix of established town grids and agricultural land accessed by family-named routes like Logsdon Valley Cemetery Rd. This era shows the mature development of these cave-country gateway towns, where historic railroad routes and modern interstates converge near the small community of Rowletts.
