About this map

Mammoth Cave National Park dominates this terrain, revealing the complex subterranean and surface topography of central Kentucky. The map highlights the famous Mammoth Cave entrance alongside a high concentration of cemeteries that speak to the area's ancestral history, such as Old Guides Cem and the Mammoth Cave Baptist Cem. Small settlements like Chaumont and Union City sit south of the park boundary, while Northtown is located to the northeast.

The winding Green River carves through the landscape, creating distinctive features like Three Sisters Island and Floating Mill Island. The karst topography is evident through numerous named sinks and hollows, including Mammoth Dome Sink and Big Spring Hollow. For those tracing local families, the map includes numerous smaller burial sites like Locust Grove Cem, France Cem, and Hunter Cem tucked away along the ridgelines and valleys.
