Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 19 named mine sites inside the county, 13 of them worked out or abandoned; the old survey maps add 30 holes drawn inside the county, 4 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are construction sand and gravel; crushed stone; Fire Clay (Refractory).
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 Illinois Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund is a not for profit created by statute, not a state agency; the cover is bought through the homeowner insurer.
Rows taken off the old survey maps open the USGS record of what sits at that spot, because no single feature on those maps has a page of its own. Rows from the mine records open their own USGS page.
Illinois 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.

Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about.
