Is an old working under a property here?

The mine records hold 3 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 2 past producers, now closed, 1 site producing when the record was made; the old survey maps add 18 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 8 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are construction sand and gravel; Silver, Gold.

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 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 pale shapes with a name around it are the neighbouring places, from the Census Bureau. Hover a dot for its name.
