Above is an example of a finished map of on Ozark cave made through the volunteer efforts of cooperators of the MSS.The images above show the line plot surveys of two small caves in the Ozarks which were connected through a surface survey. The image on the left shows the profile view, which effectively measures the vertical range of the cave and the image on the right is the plan view, which is a bird’s eye view of the cave, looking down from above. Finished cave maps are made using raw, in cave sketches, combined with line plots as in the images above.
