Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 19 named mine sites inside the county, 18 of them worked out or abandoned; the old survey maps add 2 holes drawn inside the county, 1 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is crushed stone.
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.
