Is an old working under a property here?

The USGS mineral file records 536 named mine sites inside the county, 487 of them worked out or abandoned; the USGS topographic mine features add 253 features mapped inside the county, 73 of them shafts, adits or tunnels, digitised from the old survey sheets. The minerals the records name are construction sand and gravel; Silver; Copper.

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.

Named workings recorded in Washington County (64 shown, 665 more on record)

The names that open a link are from the federal mineral file and open their own USGS record. The rest were digitised from the historical topographic sheets, which hold no record page for a single feature, so the sheet and the year it was surveyed are named instead.

Washington County lies on the edge of the Southwestern Utah Region and the coal there is anthracite, worked underground in many places. The records only show a hole where somebody wrote one down or drew it on a map, never the outline of the workings themselves, so the counts above are not the measure of what was mined under this county. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by Utah Geological Survey, Abandoned Coal Mine Maps and linked below.

Utah 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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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.
