An adit is a (nearly) horizontal entrance to an underground mine, by which resources can be extracted or the mine can be entered, ventilated or drained of water. The visible portal of the adit is mapped as a node.

How to map

Place a node at the entrance point to the adit from the surface and add man_made=adit.
