Partial North and South Section through Cave Region about Cafias, Cuba. Entire area has subterranean drainage. Koad from Canas becomes a stream in heavy rains and sinks within the area inclosed in circle. Caves marked with small circles were located by traverse readings, those marked x were located by guess. There are caves south of area mapped, hut land slopes to ocean so that water is found very near surface. There are many others in area covered that are not indicated on this map. density of the caves may be gathered from the accompanying sketch of a sec- tion extending south from the station Canas on the Western Railroad but not quite to the southern edge of the cave region (fig. 71). The caves marked with a cipher (o) were located by traverse readings by Dr. Joshua William Beede, of the Geo- 1' laical Department of Indiana University, who volunteered his services on one of the trips. Thr caves marked with a star (x) were "discovered" on a subsequent visit and located by estimate. Numerous "wells" and other caves are not indicated, In11 irom the number located an idea of the abundance of the caves can be formed. They an- about as numerous as sink holes in the cave regions of Indiana and Kentucky. There arc caves south of the area mapped, but the land slopes to the ocean 15 miles to the south, so that water is found very near the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
