1922 Map of Mammoth Cave

About this map

Mammoth Cave National Park dominates the northern half of this terrain, where the Green River carves deep meanders through the karst landscape. This early twentieth-century survey reveals a transition from the wooded sinks of the north to the more settled agricultural plains of the south. The river was then a vital transport corridor, evidenced by numerous active river crossings such as Houchins Ferry, Fishtrap Ferry, and Sanders Ferry.
