Is an old working under a property here?
The old survey maps record 1 hole inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels.
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. Coverage is automatic in the 26 mandatory counties (Athens, Belmont, Carroll, Columbiana, Coshocton, Gallia, Guernsey, Harrison, Hocking, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Mahoning, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, Perry, Scioto, Stark, Trumbull, Tuscarawas, Vinton, Washington) and optional in 11 more.

- ODNR Map Viewer, Mines of Ohio layers (Divisions of Geological Survey and Mineral Resources Management)The map application behind the Mines Locator with the abandoned underground mine polygons digitized from archival mine maps, organized by county, with a Data tab listing the shapefiles.
- ODNR Mine Subsidence Insurance (Ohio Mine Subsidence Insurance Fund)The 1985 state fund administered by the Mine Subsidence Insurance Governing Board through the Ohio Mine Subsidence Insurance Underwriting Association: in 26 mandatory counties the cover is added to every homeowner policy for $1 a year, in 11 optional counties it is $5 a year by choice, and claims go to the homeowner agent or insurer.
South Point sits over the Appalachian 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 town. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by ODNR Ohio Mines Locator (Mines of Ohio) and linked below.
Ohio 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.
