I have added a link to a scientific paper by Ben Miller. The paper discusses the hydrology of Carroll Cave. As part of the project, extensive dye tracing was performed. The result is a comprehensive view of where the water in the cave comes from and where it goes.
You can go to the paper from the “Links” section on the right side of the web page or by going to this URL:
The file attached below contains all of the reports from the blasting project at the T-Junction. Download the ZIP file, then extract its contents to see the individual PDF files.
The document linked below contains all of the trip reports from the trash sink dig project. This was ultimately unsuccessful which led to the blasting project that opened the back door to Carroll Cave.
The document also contains meeting minutes from CCC meetings 1995 through December 2000.

I recently found a PDF file of the original map of Carroll Cave. This was done by James Helwig in the early 1960s. It shows about 10 miles of cave.
Zoom in on this map. There is quite a bit of details for a map this old.
