1965 Map of Mammoth Cave

About this map

Mammoth Cave National Park is meticulously documented in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape of subterranean complexity and karst topography. The map detail highlights many historic access points to the cave system, including the Mammoth Cave (Historic Entrance), Frozen Niagara Entrance, and the New Discovery Entrance. The surface is dotted with family-named landmarks and cemeteries such as Wilkins Cem and Adwell Cem, alongside small rural congregations at Freedom Ch and Mammoth Cave Ch. The Green River meanders through the terrain, with features like Dennison Ferry and Floating Mill Island marking its banks. This 1965 revision captures the area at a time when the Great Onyx Job Corps Conservation Center was active, showing the infrastructure of the park before modern developments altered the surrounding rural crossroads of Northtown and Union City.
