Is an old working under a property here?

The mine records hold 11 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 3 past producers, now closed, 2 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 4 sites producing when the record was made, 1 processing plant, which is not a working, 1 site with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 4 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Iron; Barium-Barite; Calcium.

A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area. The Geological Survey of Alabama coal page is a script application that gives this box no readable text, so it is not listed.

Alabaster: the boundary from the Census Bureau, and one dot for each old mine or hole on record inside it. The purple dots come off the old survey maps and the darkest of those are shafts and tunnels; the red, green and orange ones are mine records. The pale shapes with a name around it are the neighbouring places, from the Census Bureau. Hover a dot for its name.
Alabama mine map and abandoned mine records
Named workings recorded in Alabaster (10 shown, 5 unnamed on the map)

Alabaster lies on the edge of the Appalachian Region coal field and the coal there is medium and high volatile bituminous, worked underground in many places. The two federal files record a shaft, an adit or a deposit where one was drawn on a survey sheet or catalogued as a site; neither file carries the outline of the workings, so the counts above are not the measure of what was mined under this town. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by Alabama Department of Labor, Mine Safety office (underground mine maps) and linked below.

Alabama abandoned mine maps ranks every county and town in the state by the workings recorded inside it, names the office that holds the mine maps, and says what to do if the ground moves.

Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about.
