County profile
Sheriff & Law Enforcement. Camas County Sheriff's Office is responsible for law enforcement across Camas County, particularly in unincorporated areas.
Police Departments. Law enforcement in Camas County is primarily provided by Camas County Sheriff's Office, which covers the entire county, including rural areas. There are no separate municipal police departments within Camas County, making the Sheriff's Office the main agency responsible for maintaining law and order.
Law Enforcement & Arrests. Camas County Sheriff's Office, headquartered at 501 Soldier Road in Fairfield, Idaho 83327, is the primary law enforcement agency for the entire county, providing patrol services, criminal investigations, search and rescue operations, and detention services. Due to Camas County's small population, there are no municipal police departments; the Sheriff's Office handles all law enforcement functions throughout Camas County's 1,079 square miles. Camas County Jail, a small detention facility located at the Sheriff's Office in Fairfield, houses inmates arrested within Camas County for misdemeanors and those awaiting transport to larger regional facilities for felony cases. Idaho Code § 74-102 establishes the right of citizens to inspect and copy public records, with agencies required to respond to requests within three business days, though the actual production of records may take longer depending on volume and staffing availability in this small rural county.
Arrest Records. They are maintained by the arresting agency, primarily the County Sheriff's Office and municipal police departments.
Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 128 mine sites inside the county: 36 past producers, now closed, 77 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 8 sites producing when the record was made, 1 processing plant, which is not a working, 6 sites with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 152 holes drawn inside the county, 64 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Gold; Silver; Lead.
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.
Idaho 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.
