Is an old working under a property here?

The USGS mineral file records 7 named mine sites inside the city or town limits, 7 of them worked out or abandoned; the USGS topographic mine features add 1 feature mapped inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts, adits or tunnels, digitised from the old survey sheets. The mineral the records name is crushed stone.

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.

Missouri mine map and abandoned mine records
Named workings recorded in Excelsior Springs (2 shown, 1 more on record)

Excelsior Springs sits over the Western Region and the coal there is medium and high volatile bituminous, worked underground in many places. The records only show a hole where somebody wrote one down or drew it on a map, never the outline of the workings themselves, 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 Missouri Mine Map Repository (Missouri Geological Survey) and linked below.

Missouri 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.

Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. 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.
