Is an old working under a property here?

The mine records hold 32 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 8 past producers, now closed, 24 prospects or occurrences that were never worked; the old survey maps add 2 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 2 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is Iron.

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.

Gaastra: the boundary from the Census Bureau, and one dot for each old mine or hole on record inside it. The purple dots come off the old survey maps and the darkest of those are shafts and tunnels; the red, green and orange ones are mine records. The pale shapes with a name around it are the neighbouring places, from the Census Bureau. Hover a dot for its name.
