If you’re looking for a Mammoth Cave map, you’ve come to the right place; currently I’ve collected 10 free Mammoth Cave National Park maps to view and download. (PDF files and external links will open in a new window.) You’ll find a map that covers the entire park, one that shows more detail on the main visitor center area, one that shows the backcountry trails, and one focusing on the campground. You can also browse the best-selling Mammoth Cave maps and guidebooks on Amazon.

Mammoth Cave map from the park brochures

This is the official Mammoth Cave National Park map, showing the main roads, trails, and points of interest. Click the image to view a full size JPG (800 kb) or download the PDF (3.8 mb).

This is a detail map of Mammoth Cave, zoomed in on the visitor center, cave entrance, campground and Mammoth Cave Hotel. Click the image to view a full size JPG (100 kb) or download the PDF (100 kb).

Mammoth Cave trail maps

The free maps below shows trails and mileages in more detail than the park map above. However, they don’t show topographic lines, so I wouldn’t want to use them for long hiking or backpacking trips since they won’t be as useful for navigation. Instead, you’ll want the National Geographic Trails Illustrated map, which has enough detail and information to be suitable for overnight travel and backpacking.

The Mammoth Cave trail map (1.4 mb) shows the park’s extensive network of backcountry trails, along with mileages between junctions, backcountry campsites, and other points of interest.

This east Mammoth Cave trail map (250 kb) shows the rest of the park missing from the previous map. This is the section labeled “map on reverse side” on the previous map key.

This is the older Mammoth Cave backcountry map (600 kb), replaced by the ones above. This one is easier to read but has outdated trail routes that are no longer accurate, so do not use this map to navigate.

Mammoth Cave campground map

This is a map of Mammoth Cave Campground, located near the visitor center and Mammoth Cave Hotel. Click the image to view a full size GIF (80 kb) or download the PDF (400 kb).

Mammoth Cave lodging map

Click the image to the right to view a Hotels.com interactive Mammoth Cave lodging map in a new window, centered on Cave City. Although Cave City is the most popular place to stay outside the park, if you zoom out and scroll the map you can find other locations as well. You can also top-rated Mammoth Cave lodging on Hotels.com to compare reviews, photos, locations, and prices.

Mammoth Cave geologic maps

This Mammoth Cave geologic map (950 kb) provides an overview of the entire Mammoth Cave region and includes a legend to identify the rocks you’ll find on the maps below.

Here’s a west Mammoth Cave geologic map (1.1 mb), showing the rock types on the western side of the park, nearest the town of Brownsville. You’ll find a legend in the map above.

This is an east Mammoth Cave geologic map (1.1 mb), including the area around the visitor center and entrances to Mammoth Cave. Again, you’ll get a legend in the first geologic map listed above.
