Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 21 named mine sites inside the county, 7 of them worked out or abandoned; the old survey maps add 119 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are crushed stone; Fire Clay (Refractory); construction sand and gravel.
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.

GeoWebFace shows historic mining sites as points; no agency page with underground workings outlines was found, and the OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds Michigan maps.
