Is an old working under a property here?
The old survey maps record 2 holes inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels.
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. Louisiana's underground mines are salt mines; no state abandoned mine inventory is published.
Louisiana mine map and abandoned mine records
Forest Hill sits over a mapped coal field and the coal there is lignite, worked mostly at the surface. 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 Louisiana Geological Survey (LSU) and linked below.
Louisiana 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.

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.
