About this map

Mammoth Cave and the surrounding karst landscape of Edmonson County define this 2013 survey. The subterranean system is linked to the surface through features like Mammoth Dome Sink, Echo River, and the Double Cellars, while the Green River winds past numerous islands including Cave Island and Floating Mill Island. The area’s human history is anchored by Mammoth Cave National Park, where specialized infrastructure like the Bransford Pumphouse and Mount McKinley Pumphouse supported the site's operations.

Local genealogy is well-documented through scattered family and community burial grounds, such as the Old Guides Cem and Farmers Cem. Settlement patterns remain focused along the southern corridors, with small communities like Chaumont, Union City, and Highland Springs serving as gateways to the hollows and ridges. The map also traces the legacy of early river crossings at Dennison Ferry and Cow Ford Hollow.
