Local record guide
What we hold on De Witt, and who keeps its records.
Local profile
De Witt, a place of 3,056 people, keeps its own council and town business records. The Arkansas County offices are in DeWitt, the county seat. Each Arkansas County office is listed on our Arkansas County page.
Abandoned mine records
What the records show here, and the office that holds the mine maps.
De Witt sits over a mapped coal field and the coal there is lignite, worked mostly at the surface. The USGS coal fields map is drawn at a small scale, so it shows the ground, not a parcel.
Nothing at all is on record inside the town limits: no mine, no shaft, no adit and no pit. That is what the files say, and it is not a clearance. Those files record a working only where one was catalogued or drawn on a survey sheet, and on coal ground the sheets are thin: the maps that show the rooms and the pillars are held by Arkansas DEQ Coal Program (abandoned coal mine reclamation) and that office is where to ask for them.
Arkansas 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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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.
