It does not, however, list all federal properties managed by the National Park Service (www.nps.gov). such as national monuments, scenic riverways, national seashores. memorials, etc.
There is no listing for Jewel Cave NM, (SD) Oregon Caves NM, (OR) Timpanogos, (UT), The Buffalo National River (AR), The Ozark National Scenic Riverways (MO) and probably more that I'm not coming up with off the top of my head which are NPS federal lands with significant or oodles of caves and karst.
So though the fellow has taken a lot of commercial and non-commercial (NPS) info on the 'big parks' and redesigned it for tourists, this is by no means a good guide to where to see karst on NPS managed lands.
(The giveaway was the fact there is no listing for Missouri--which has at least 4 NPS sites: The Jefferson National Gateway Memorial (the Arch), Wilson's Creek National Battlefield, (Ok, it just has a sinkhole where they threw bodies, not a real cave) The George Washington Carver Boyhood Home, and Ozark Riverways--which has 50 springs, and simply oodles of caves on the property., including one commercially shown (Round Spring Cavern).

The link to US National Parks will be handy when planning a vacation or camping trip.
