This feature layer is used in an interactive web application. When available, the data includes links to photos stored in NP Gallery. Prior to creation of Mammoth Cave National Park in 1941, the rugged terrain along the Green River in Kentucky was settled by farmers, cave explorers, and entrepreneurs during the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. The area was carved into small subsistence farms and larger tracts belonging to the owners of caves that were exploited as tourist attractions. Over the decades, the residents established cemeteries where the could bury deceased family members. A few of the cemeteries are single burials located near a house. The numerous small family plots are scattered across the landscape. A handful of larger church and community graveyards are located near major roads.
