Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 59 mine sites inside the county: 6 past producers, now closed, 43 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 9 sites producing when the record was made, 1 processing plant, which is not a working; the old survey maps add 102 holes drawn inside the county, 17 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Uranium; Dolomite; Iron.
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. No public mine map viewer was found; the AML Division at 1-800-510-0283 answers whether a property is over or near a mined area.
