I'm working on the assumption that this cave complex was originally created by water action. There are three primary levels, the lightest tone top level can be accessed via sink holes at A and B. There are holes / tunnels leading to the lower layers at points C, D, and E. The middle layer has entrances via sinkholes at F, G, and H; and a worked entrance at I, leading to an area that has been shaped by someone or something. Holes / tunnels lead to the lowest level at J, K, and L. A side view of the middle layer would show it as sagging in the middle where massive chamber M forms the core of the complex On the lowest level chambers N and O hold underground lakes, while P is a waterfall leading further down.
This is only a rough layout. Hopefully I can put in some time on this over the weekend to finalize the caves and start marking up gradients, connections, and water. Eventually I'd like to do a side view of this mess too, but I fear my drawing skills aren't up to that yet. In the mean time... enjoy these crude scribblings!

Nice work. I love looking at other people's maps.
Thanks! I've been toying with this tonight, trying to show some slopes and cave features (stalactites an stalagmites). Not getting anything I like so far. I was going to shoot for something similar to the old Vault of the Drow style maps, but features are coming out too fine in the line art. I may switch over to gimp and try some stuff there. IANAA!
Awesome work! I've not had the time to dive into Inkscape as much as I should.
Thanks! I really like the feel of Inkscape for laying out maps. It makes me want to buy a pen and tablet setup so I can really sketch with it.
The only downsides so far are it gets a bit slow with complex paths (even on my fairly powerful machine) and it's a mite unstable. Save early, save often.
