Local record guide
Local profile
Alta, a place of 228 people, is in Salt Lake County, whose county seat is Salt Lake City. Court and property records sit with Salt Lake County, and birth and death certificates come from the State of Utah. Alta's own offices are in the cards above, and our Salt Lake County page lists each county office.
Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 23 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 13 past producers, now closed, 9 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 1 site producing when the record was made; the old survey maps add 136 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 104 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Silver, Lead; Tungsten; Molybdenum, Lead, Zinc.
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.
Rows taken off the old survey maps open the USGS record of what sits at that spot, because no single feature on those maps has a page of its own. Rows from the mine records open their own USGS page.
Utah 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.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about. PublicRecordCenter.com assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions, or consequences arising from the use of this information.
Labor Department file
The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division closed 1 investigation with a Alta address since fiscal 2005 and recorded $33,007 in back wages agreed for 7 workers. Snapshot of April 22, 2026; a case here is a finding by the Division, not a court judgment, and the city is the one written on the employer's record.
| Employer | Cases | Back wages | Workers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rustler Lodge, Inc. | 1 | $33,007 | 7 |
Every employer whose address on the record is in Alta, by back wages agreed; 1 employer has a page of their own and open from the table, the rest show their whole record in this row. The Utah wage theft records page ranks the whole state.
