Is an old working under a property here?

The mine records hold 7 mine sites inside the county: 1 past producer, now closed, 1 prospect or occurrence that was never worked, 5 sites producing when the record was made; the old survey maps add 7 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are construction sand and gravel; Lead, Zinc.

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 DNR subsidence insurance page (www.in.gov/dnr/reclamation/mine-subsidence/subsidence-insurance) says the Division of Reclamation fills subsidence holes but does not pay for structural damage, which is what the fund is for.

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 small open circles with a name are the towns and the pale shapes around the edge are the neighbouring counties, both from the Census Bureau. Hover a dot for its name.
