Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 4 named mine sites inside the city or town limits, 4 of them worked out or abandoned. The minerals the records name are Fire Clay (Refractory); 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. Tennessee's coal regulatory program was run by OSMRE until the state took it back; the state AML program is in TDEC.
