You'll know the end is near when you see the sign. The coords will take you to the Lost River Spring. There can be an unknown number of underground streams flowing in a karst area. Some of these underground streams intercept the surface to form springs. A spring is a point where groundwater flows out of the ground and becomes visible on the surface. This spring is the largest spring in the Valley. The spring flows down into Blue Hole One before joining the Lost River that will later flow into the cave.
