Interesting. I played a lot of Adventure when I was a graduate
student and then employee in the Computer Science Department at
Cornell. I started grad school in 1969 and got an MS and became an
employee in 1971. I can't definitively name the years, but I left
the University in 1976, and this was well before that.
We didn't run VM yet. I'm pretty sure I played a version under TSO.
I kept my hand drawn maps - too much work went into them to throw
them away. I wonder if I can put my hands on them now.
I'd be really interested to see them. *Especially* if they're dated
and that date is earlier than 1975.
This is a pretty standard history:

It states that the Crowthers didn't even map the caves until 1972.
Although, of course, a lot of the structure of Mammoth Cave was known
to Stephen Bishop in the 19th century.
