Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 60 mine sites inside the county: 38 past producers, now closed, 6 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 15 sites producing when the record was made, 1 processing plant, which is not a working; the old survey maps add 63 holes drawn inside the county, 13 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Iron; crushed stone; Fire Clay (Refractory).
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. 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.
