Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 1 mine site inside the county: 1 site producing when the record was made; the old survey maps add 3 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels.
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. Georgia publishes no abandoned mine inventory; the Dahlonega gold mines are not mapped by the state online.
Georgia 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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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.

Barrow's civil-record instructions include divorce, custody, support, civil suit, protective-order, name-change, and other case files. They list certified copies at $2.50 for the first page and $0.50 for each additional page. That formula is the copy product; the charge for starting a case is separate.

The clerk announces online criminal record searching and says the search itself is free, while users who want to print copies are asked to create an account.

They also direct unsigned orders and judge-assignment questions to the appropriate judge's office. Keep those procedural contacts separate from a request for an already filed document.

Barrow publishes separate request forms for general government, Fire, the Sheriff, and E-911. It describes the Sheriff channel as covering accidents, incidents, body-camera material, inmates, and detention-related video, while dispatch and emergency calls go through E-911. It expressly directs court-document requests to the elected clerk. Describe the incident date, location, department, and desired record format when those details are known. A request sent to the wrong operational unit can require clarification even when the subject is the same event. Retain the request confirmation so later correspondence stays attached to that submission. Barrow public-record request routing.
The county says portal requests are acknowledged within three business days and readily available records are provided within that period. When more time is needed, it gives an estimated cost and completion timeframe. Its published general-record schedule makes the first 15 minutes of staff time free, charges later time at the rate of the lowest-paid qualified employee, and lists letter or legal paper copies at $0.10 per page, with media at actual cost. Those rates do not replace the clerk's separately published certified-copy charges. Ask for a focused record set and review any estimate before expanding its scope. Source: barrowga.org
