Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 1 mine site inside the county: 1 prospect or occurrence that was never worked; the old survey maps add 21 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is Salt.
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 state says it has no underground mines.
Claiborne County sits over a mapped coal field and the coal there is lignite, worked mostly at the surface. 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 county. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by MDEQ Office of Geology, Mining and Reclamation Division and linked below.
Mississippi 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.

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.
