Bone Cave, Tennessee
Bone Cave (also Big Bone Cave or Bonecave) is an unincorporated community in Van Buren County, Tennessee, United States. It lies just off U.S. Route 70S northwest of Spencer and southeast of Rock Island.〔Rand McNally. ''The Road Atlas '08.'' Chicago: Rand McNally, 2008, p. 95.〕 Its elevation is 965 feet (294 m), and it is located at (35.7750675, -85.5849782). The Rocky River passes through the community. The various forms of its names led the Board on Geographic Names to decide on the official form of the community's name in 1895.〔(Geographic Names Information System Feature Detail Report ), Geographic Names Information System, 1980-05-19. Accessed 2008-02-18.〕
The community is named for nearby Big Bone Cave, one of the most famous and historic caves in Tennessee. Big Bone Cave was named for the discovery of a giant ground sloth skeleton in 1811 during the mining of cave dirt to be processed for saltpeter.
A post office called Bone Cave was established in 1866, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1977.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Van Buren County )〕
