Is an old working under a property here?
The USGS mineral file records 125 named mine sites inside the city or town limits, 121 of them worked out or abandoned; the USGS topographic mine features add 31 features mapped inside the city or town limits, 22 of them shafts, adits or tunnels, digitised from the old survey sheets. The minerals the records name are Gold; Uranium; Lead.
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. Colorado's cover is a protection program run by DRMS, not an insurance policy sold by insurers.

The names that open a link are from the federal mineral file and open their own USGS record. The rest were digitised from the historical topographic sheets, which hold no record page for a single feature, so the sheet and the year it was surveyed are named instead.
Colorado 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.
Please read: Everything here can be wrong. This is information, not a guarantee: the two federal files can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, the boundaries and the geocoder can be wrong, a point is a location and not a property line, and nothing on this page says that a mine is or is not under any particular property. Do not buy, sell, move, or make any decision about a home or about your safety on this alone. Ask the state mine map office named here for the maps, and have a qualified engineer look at the ground.
