Is an old working under a property here?

The mine records hold 53 mine sites inside the county: 28 past producers, now closed, 18 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 3 sites producing when the record was made, 2 processing plants, which are not workings, 2 sites with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 11 holes drawn inside the county, 7 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Talc-Soapstone; Iron; 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. Georgia publishes no abandoned mine inventory; the Dahlonega gold mines are not mapped by the state online.

Murray County: the boundary from the Census Bureau, and one dot for each old mine or hole on record inside it. The purple dots come off the old survey maps and the darkest of those are shafts and tunnels; the red, green and orange ones are mine records. The small open circles with a name are the towns and the pale shapes around the edge are the neighbouring counties, both from the Census Bureau. Hover a dot for its name.

Georgia 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.
