Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 2 mine sites inside the county: 2 past producers, now closed; the old survey maps add 231 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is Clay.
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.
Texas mine map and abandoned mine records
- Railroad Commission of Texas, Abandoned Mine Land data mapThe commission's map of abandoned mine land sites (a Power BI map).
- Railroad Commission of Texas, Abandoned Mine Land ProgramThe Surface Mining division program that reclaims pre 1977 mines and closes dangerous underground openings by backfilling, capping or gating.
Erath County lies on the edge of the Southwestern Region coal field and the coal there is medium and high volatile bituminous, worked underground in many places. 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 Railroad Commission of Texas, Abandoned Mine Land data map and linked below.
Texas 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.
