Is an old working under a property here?

The mine records hold 231 named mine sites inside the county, 229 of them worked out or abandoned; the old survey maps add 34 holes drawn inside the county, 1 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Barium-Barite; Lead; 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.

Morgan County: the boundary from the Census Bureau, and one dot for each old mine or hole on record inside it. Purple is a shaft or a tunnel. Hover a dot for its name.
