What is on record in Bristol

Old mine sites

Main minerals
Lead

Is an old working under a property here?

The mine records hold 1 named mine site inside the city or town limits, 1 of them worked out or abandoned. The mineral the records name is Lead.

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. No abandoned mine inventory is published.

1 mile
Bristol: 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. Hover a dot for its name.
