Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 21 named mine sites inside the county, 15 of them worked out or abandoned; the old survey maps add 38 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are construction sand and gravel; 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. The Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund is a not for profit created by statute, not a state agency; the cover is bought through the homeowner insurer.
