Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 5 named mine sites inside the city or town limits, 1 of them worked out or abandoned; the old survey maps add 23 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 20 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is Clay.
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. The Geological Survey of Alabama coal page is a script application that gives this box no readable text, so it is not listed.
