2022 Map of Mammoth Cave

About this map

The Green River carves a deep path through this limestone landscape, defining the topography of Mammoth Cave National Park. This survey reveals a subterranean world rising to the surface through features like Mammoth Dome Sink, Echo River, and the entrance to Mammoth Cave. Outside the park boundaries, the land is marked by small settlements such as Northtown and Union City, and numerous family burial grounds including the Meredith Family Cem and Franklin Johnson Cem. The transportation history of the area is uniquely preserved in the Mammoth Cave Railroad Bike And Hike Trl, which follows the route of a former rail line that once brought early tourists to the cavern entrance. The map provides a look at the karst geology of Flint Ridge and Houchins Valley, where springs like Adwell Spring and Pike Spring emerge from the complex drainage system.
