Local record guide
Local profile
Lakeland, a place of 1,710 people, is in Washington County, whose county seat is Stillwater. Court and property records sit with Washington County, and birth and death certificates come from the State of Minnesota. Lakeland's own offices are in the cards above, and our Washington 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 1 mine site inside the city or town limits: 1 site producing when the record was made; the old survey maps add 6 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 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. Minnesota has no coal AML program; its underground mines are iron mines on the Mesabi Range.
Minnesota 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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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 1 investigation with a Lakeland address since fiscal 2005 and recorded $559 in back wages agreed for 5 workers.

| Employer | Cases | Back wages | Workers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annie's Inc. | 1 | $559 | 5 |
Every employer whose address on the record is in Lakeland, by back wages agreed; 0 employers have a page of their own and open from the table, the rest show their whole record in this row. The Minnesota wage theft records page ranks the whole state.
