Plan of the Font del Truffe from the entrance pool through sumps 1 to 4 and the dry river passage to the two terminal sumps near pt 1123 m, traced from the 1974-76 survey (topography Verlhac, Dayma and others) on plongeesout.ffspeleo.fr; depths and sump lengths come from its developed section. Point labels (pt) are the survey's cumulative distances; the deeper sumps S5-S14 beyond are not drawn. The owner's dives went through sump 1 and along the dry passage to sump 2; positions are approximate, the plan is an old small-scale drawing.
Part of the Ouysse basin, 6 km north-east of Rocamadour near Lacave — the village better known above ground for its show caves, which are in the same limestone.
