Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 17 mine sites inside the county: 3 past producers, now closed, 7 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 6 sites producing when the record was made, 1 site with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 5 holes drawn inside the county, 1 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Geothermal; Limestone, General; Phosphorus-Phosphates.
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.

Rows taken off the old survey maps open the USGS record of what sits at that spot, because no single feature on those maps has a page of its own. Rows from the mine records open their own USGS page.
