Is an old working under a property here?

The mine records hold 4 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 1 prospect or occurrence that was never worked, 2 sites producing when the record was made, 1 site with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 3 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is construction sand and gravel.

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. Wisconsin has no coal AML program; the old lead and zinc workings are in the southwest counties.

N 1 mile
Hayward: 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.
