Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 19 mine sites inside the county: 5 past producers, now closed, 14 sites producing when the record was made; the old survey maps add 119 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Fire Clay (Refractory); construction sand and gravel; Gypsum-Anhydrite.
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. GeoWebFace shows historic mining sites as points; no agency page with underground workings outlines was found, and the OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds Michigan maps.

Shiawassee County sits over the Northern 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 EGLE GeoWebFace and linked below.
Michigan 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.
