Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 61 mine sites inside the county: 12 past producers, now closed, 18 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 26 sites producing when the record was made, 5 sites with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 71 holes drawn inside the county, 2 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Copper; Gold; Limestone, General.
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.
