2017 Map of Mammoth Cave

About this map

Mammoth Cave anchors the central portion of this Lincoln County landscape, surrounded by the distinctive Black Butte Hills. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated water management system designed for high-desert agriculture, featuring an extensive network of named laterals branching off the Milner Gooding Canal and North Shoshone Canal. Dozens of smaller catchments and reservoirs, such as Greybull Reservoir, Seep Reservoir, and Nipple Reservoir, dot the northern sections, illustrating the intensity of local water rights and land use. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by the Black Butte Ranch Airport and a grid of rural routes including Parker Gulch Road and the Mammoth Cave Civil Defense Rd. The interplay between the natural volcanic features and these engineered waterways reveals a landscape strictly organized for utility in the early 21st century.
