Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 3 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 1 past producer, now closed, 1 site producing when the record was made, 1 site with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 7 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is 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. Coal was mined in Iowa from the 1840s to 1994.
