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 county: 1 site producing when the record was made; the old survey maps add 30 holes drawn inside the county, 1 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. Underground coal mining in Kansas was concentrated in Cherokee and Crawford Counties.
Leavenworth County sits over the Western Region coal field and the coal there is medium and high volatile bituminous, worked underground in many places. 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 county. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by KDHE Abandoned Mine Land Program and linked below.
Kansas 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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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.

Labor Department file
The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division closed 97 investigations in Leavenworth County since fiscal 2005 and recorded $1,332,577 in back wages agreed for 961 workers. The county is the one the Census Bureau puts each employer's ZIP code in. Snapshot of April 22, 2026; a case here is a finding by the Division, not a court judgment.

The Leavenworth Register of Deeds records and preserves warranty and quitclaim deeds, transfer-on-death deeds, mortgages, releases, easements, plats, surveys and other instruments. The office lists 300 Walnut Street, Leavenworth, KS 66048, and telephone 913-684-0424. A land-record request should identify the instrument or the parties and property involved, especially when more than one recorded document concerns the same parcel. The office also records some death certificates and military discharges, but those filings serve particular recording purposes and should not be confused with a general vital-certificate issuing service. Use the document category and recording reference to establish which copy is actually needed. Register of Deeds holdings and contact.
The county land-search instructions distinguish searchable indexing from the availability of scanned images. They describe name and legal-description searching back to August 1972 and identify Book 427, Page 168 as the stated indexing reference. Older image retrieval can require an exact book and page. The office also acknowledges gaps in the online history and asks researchers to call when a document cannot be located. A failed name search therefore does not establish that no instrument was recorded. Retain the book and page from another reference, use the format specified in the search instructions, and ask the Register about a missing image before drawing a conclusion about the property record. Land-search index and missing-image instructions.
Leavenworth offers an emailed document through the Register for $7 per document, with no separate per-page charge for that product. Tapestry self-service searching instead costs $8.95 per search plus $1 per printed page. These are different purchasing routes, so neither price should be presented as a universal copy-page fee. The office also charges for staff research and says it does not perform bonded title searches. If the document is already identified, ask about the direct-copy option; if research is still required, consider the search charges and the scope of the task. Keep certification questions separate because the reviewed search instructions do not establish a complete certified-copy price. Official source: leavenworthcounty.gov
The Register requires completed documents, a properly executed notary acknowledgment, the applicable payment and contact information for recording. A property conveyance also requires the photo-identification copy specified by the office. Supply a self-addressed stamped envelope when the original should be returned; otherwise, the office describes emailing a digital copy of the recorded document. Walk-in and mailed documents stop recording at 4:30 p.m. and are returned the following day under the published procedure. That cutoff is a recording-service deadline rather than a statement that every records function closes then. Use the current fee schedule for the instrument type and avoid mailing cash. Official source: leavenworthcounty.gov
The County Appraiser explains that its parcel description is created for tax-appraisal purposes and may differ from the legal description recorded with the Register of Deeds. Its service links public parcel searching and identifies the unique parcel number assigned through the mapping process. Use the parcel number to connect the appraisal entry with the property being researched, then consult the recorded instrument when exact boundary or conveyance language matters. A parcel combination, division or new plat may also change the identification used in county mapping. Retain the assessment year and the parcel identifier shown on the record so a later inquiry can address the correct version. Appraiser parcel inventory and description limits.
The County Clerk serves as secretary to the Board of County Commissioners and as the county Election Officer. The office also prepares the tax roll, maintains special-assessment information and keeps county receipt and expenditure records. It lists 300 Walnut Street, Suite 106, Leavenworth, KS 66048, with office hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The main number is 913-684-0421, and voter registration uses 913-684-0419. Specify whether the request concerns Commission proceedings, an election, a tax-roll entry or another record category. The common courthouse address does not mean the Clerk and Register of Deeds hold the same files or use the same service hours. County Clerk record duties and contact information.
Leavenworth District Court is at 601 S. 3rd Street, Suite 3051, Leavenworth, KS 66048, with telephone 913-684-0700. That address differs from the Walnut Street courthouse offices used by the County Clerk and Register of Deeds. The court publishes filing instructions for people without attorneys, including in-person, mail, fax and after-hours drop-box options, and directs new marriage-license applicants to the judicial branch's online portal. A filing method is not automatically a copy-order method. For an existing case record, identify the case number and particular document and use the court's records instructions instead of treating the filing drop box or marriage application as a general records service. District Court location and filing-service distinctions.
The District Court records service lists 913-684-0716 and accepts a written or emailed inquiry identifying the case number or book and page of the requested document. Most court photocopies cost $0.25 per page; transcripts cost $0.50 per page, and certification adds $1 per document. Extensive research can add a $20 hourly charge. Staff prepare an estimate before the requester sends the stated payment and a self-addressed stamped envelope for return delivery. A certified decree therefore has a page-dependent total, not a universal $1 price. Describe exactly which order or transcript is wanted so the estimate covers the requested material and delivery. District Court records estimate and copy charges.
The county open-records policy identifies the County Administrator and County Counselor as designated custodians at the courthouse, 300 Walnut Street, Leavenworth. A request must be written and include the requester's name, mailing address, telephone or email, and details identifying the records. The suggested form is optional. The policy cites the Kansas Open Records Act, K.S.A. 45-215, and calls for an initial response no later than the third business day following receipt. Additional time and a fee estimate may be needed, and estimated charges are paid in advance. The response period should not be treated as a promise of complete production of every requested record within three days. County open-records policy and designated custodians.
Kansas Vital Statistics explains that a completed marriage license is first filed with the district-court clerk in the county that issued the license, then forwarded to the state office. Marriage information is available at the county district-court level, while the state supplies the certified-certificate product under its application rules. The state lists $20 per certified marriage copy, with additional charges for some ordering channels, and describes its filed marriage series as beginning May 1, 1913. For a Leavenworth marriage, decide whether the task requires the local court record or the state certificate and provide the corresponding identifying details. A new marriage-license application is a separate transaction. Kansas marriage-record custody and certificate product.
