Local record guide
Local profile
Challis, a place of 902 people, is the seat of Custer County. Court and property records sit with Custer County, and birth and death certificates come from the State of Idaho. Challis's own offices are in the cards above, and our Custer 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 2 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 1 site producing when the record was made, 1 site with no status in the record.
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.
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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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. 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 4 investigations with a Challis address since fiscal 2005 and recorded $903 in back wages agreed for 5 workers.

| Northgate Inn Motel | 1 | $56 | 1 |
