- USGS mineral file and USGS topographic mine features
Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 1 mine site inside the city or town limits: 1 site producing when the record was made.
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. Underground coal mining in Kansas was concentrated in Cherokee and Crawford Counties.

- KDHE Abandoned Mine Land ProgramThe Kansas AML program in the Surface Mining Unit, with an emergency program for sudden hazards at https://www.kdhe.ks.gov/551/Emergency-Program-for-Abandoned-Mine-Lan.
- Kansas Geological Survey, Coal ResourcesThe survey keeps the archive of 150 years of Kansas coal mining, surface and underground to 700 feet, to help locate former mining areas when land changes use; it links the mined area maps of the Weir-Pittsburg bed and the OSMRE mine map viewer.
Named workings recorded in Eureka
Eureka sits over the Western 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 town. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by KDHE Abandoned Mine Land Program and linked below.
Kansas 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.
