1965 Map of Mammoth Cave

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Green River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Kentucky, anchoring the complex topography above Mammoth Cave National Park. The map reveals a landscape defined by its subterranean world, marking numerous access points including the Mammoth Cave (Historic Entrance), the Violet City Entrance, and the Frozen Niagara Entrance. Beyond the famous caverns, the sheet documents the rural community infrastructure that existed within and around the park boundaries during the mid-1950s. Family and community history is preserved through labels for the Old Guides Cemetery, Mammoth Cave Ch, and several isolated burial grounds like Little Jordan Cem and Wilkins Cem. The rugged surface is a maze of named sinks and hollows, such as Sugar Sink and Holton Hollow, while the river still shows the location of the Dennison Ferry, illustrating the historic transit patterns of Edmonson and Hart counties before modern bridges dominated the region.
