The Tennessee Cave Survey is the best source of maps for Tennessee Caves.
The Tennessee Cave Survey, Inc. (TCS) is an Internal Organization of the National Speleological Society (NSS). TCS members are volunteers who are dedicated to the discovery, exploration, survey and mapping of the caves in Tennessee. Tennessee Cave Survey goals are to systematically collect, organize and maintain information concerning the caves in Tennessee. The TCS strongly encourages and promotes the protection of the caves in Tennessee from significant adverse environmental impact, consistent with reasonable access for caver exploration and study. The TCS discourages widespread dissemination of sensitive cave information. Tennessee Cave Survey considers the effort toward more protective legislation for caves a more desirable approach to cave conservation than the release of sensitive cave locations and TCS data en mass to any person, outdoors group, government agencies, state agencies, private or non-profit organizations.
Our volunteers, both Tennessee cavers and out-of-state cavers add to the knowledge of speleology (the study of caves) through their Tennessee cave mapping and survey efforts. Since Tennessee Cave Surveys' inception over 8,800 caves have been added to our database. This might explain why the Tennessee Cave Survey is often referred to as the Southeastern Leader in cave survey. The significance of the TCS database is related to the information that may be contributed to the Tennessee Cave Survey files by cavers who actively record and choose to share their Tennessee cave survey / cave mapping data and information with the Tennessee Cave Survey.
Through exploration cavers often are able to gain more knowledge and data concerning the caves in Tennessee.
