Local record guide
What we hold on Lyman, and who keeps its records.
Local profile
Lyman, a place of 259 people, keeps its own council and town business records. See our Scotts Bluff County page for every county office.
Abandoned mine records
What the records show here, and the office that holds the mine maps.
Lyman sits over the Goshen Hole Field and the coal there is subbituminous, worked mostly at the surface. The USGS coal fields map is drawn at a small scale, so it shows the ground, not a parcel.
Nothing at all is on record inside the town limits: no mine, no shaft, no adit and no pit. That is what the files say, and it is not a clearance. Those files record a working only where one was catalogued or drawn on a survey sheet, and on coal ground the sheets are thin: the maps that show the rooms and the pillars are held by Conservation and Survey Division, University of Nebraska, Geological and Mineral Resources and that office is where to ask for them.
Nebraska 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.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about.
