Is an old working under a property here?
The USGS mineral file records 2 named mine sites inside the city or town limits, 1 of them worked out or abandoned; the USGS topographic mine features add 1 feature mapped inside the city or town limits, 1 of them shafts, adits or tunnels, digitised from the old survey sheets. The mineral the records name is 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. DEP has an address lookup for mine subsidence risk at gis.dep.pa.gov/msiRisk/: enter a street address and if the site falls in a gray Underground Mining Area it is over or near a known mined area (read live). PHUMMIS at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/Phummis is linked from the DEP Act 54 maps page; its certificate chain cannot be verified from this box and the exact url is not in the search index.

Please read: Everything here can be wrong. This is information, not a guarantee: the two federal files can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, the boundaries and the geocoder can be wrong, a point is a location and not a property line, and nothing on this page says that a mine is or is not under any particular property. Do not buy, sell, move, or make any decision about a home or about your safety on this alone. Ask the state mine map office named here for the maps, and have a qualified engineer look at the ground.
