The recording of such map or plat shall not constitute a conveyance of any interest in the oil, gas and other minerals underlying the avenues, streets, lanes, alleys and other parcels therein named or intended for public uses. The provisions of this act shall apply to all maps or plats, heretofore or hereafter made, acknowledged, certified, filed and recorded with any such register. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as granting any right to enter upon the surface of such parcels of land for purposes of exploring for or the extraction of such minerals, or in any other manner to interfere with the public uses named in such maps, plats and additions.
