Local record guide
Local profile
Farmington, a place of 46,624 people, is in San Juan County, whose county seat is Aztec. Court and property records sit with San Juan County, and birth and death certificates come from the State of New Mexico. Farmington's own offices are in the cards above, and our San Juan 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 9 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 1 past producer, now closed, 1 site producing when the record was made, 7 sites with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 7 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is construction sand and gravel.
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.
Farmington sits over the San Juan River Region coal field and the coal there is subbituminous, worked mostly at the surface. The two federal files record a shaft, an adit or a deposit where one was drawn on a survey sheet or catalogued as a site; neither file carries the outline of the workings, so the counts above are not the measure of what was mined under this town. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by EMNRD Mining and Minerals Division, Abandoned Mine Land Program and linked below.
New Mexico 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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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.
