Is an old working under a property here?

The mine records hold 28 mine sites inside the county: 21 past producers, now closed, 7 sites producing when the record was made; the old survey maps add 48 holes drawn inside the county, 6 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are construction sand and gravel; crushed stone; Clay.

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.

Pittsburg 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.
Oklahoma mine map and abandoned mine records
Named workings recorded in Pittsburg County (28 shown, 48 unnamed on the map)

Pittsburg County sits over the Western Region coal field and the coal there is medium and high volatile bituminous, worked underground in many places. The two federal files record a shaft, an adit or a deposit where one was drawn on a survey sheet or catalogued as a site; neither file carries the outline of the workings, so the counts above are not the measure of what was mined under this county. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by Oklahoma Department of Mines, Historic Underground Mining Maps and linked below.

Oklahoma 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.
