Local profile
Raytown, a place of 30,012 people, is in Jackson County, whose county seat is Kansas City.

Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the two federal mine files
The USGS topographic mine features record 1 mapped mine feature inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts, adits or tunnels, digitised from the old survey sheets.
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.
Missouri 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.
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 This is information, not a guarantee: the two federal files can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, the boundaries and the geocoder can be wrong, a point is a location and not a property line, and nothing on this page says that a mine is or is not under any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.
