Cave Maps

Cave maps are detailed drawings that depict the layout of underground caves, created through careful exploration and recording of passages, chambers, and features. They serve as visual guides, helping explorers navigate complex systems safely and understand their structure. These maps are usually drawn to scale and include information such as depths, widths, and notable features like stalactites or stalagmites. Cave mapping combines field measurements, sketching, and sometimes surveying tools to produce accurate representations, which are essential for exploration, scientific study, and preservation of these subterranean environments.
