Texas Speleological Survey (TSS) has nearly 4000 caves and karst features
entered into its digital database. The range of location accuracy ranges
from a few meters to a few thousand meters. About a third of the caves do
not have any location information. Some of this missing information is
contained in the paper files and needs to be entered into the database.
There are also probably hundreds of caves in the paper files that need to
be entered into the digital database. All of this work happens by cavers
around the state volunteering their time to key in data, scan maps, draft
maps, and write reports. The new on-line data report form makes it
incredibly easy for any caver with Internet access to submit information to
TSS, which benefits all cavers. TSS welcomes help from anyone who wants to
improve the quality and quantity of the files. TSS makes the data available
to support exploration, research, conservation, and education. To request
data from the TSS, visit our website and look under the "request data" tab

Yeah....thats nice if you want to spend the day picking through filling
cabinets stuffed with maps and papers. Unless its changed in the past
year. Now if they have every known cave in the state plugged into a map
of Texas yeah that might be useful.
