Is an old working under a property here?
The mine records hold 21 named mine sites inside the county, 13 of them worked out or abandoned; the old survey maps add 27 holes drawn inside the county, 5 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are construction sand and gravel; crushed stone; 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 where you enter a street address: if the site falls in a gray Underground Mining Area it is over or near a known mined area. The PHUMMIS inventory of historic underground mine maps sits at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/Phummis and is linked from the DEP Act 54 maps page.
