Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 213 mine sites inside the county: 76 past producers, now closed, 25 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 22 sites producing when the record was made, 7 processing plants, which are not workings, 83 sites with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 62 holes drawn inside the county, 10 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Phosphorus-Phosphates; Aluminum.
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. Tennessee's coal regulatory program was run by OSMRE until the state took it back; the state AML program is in TDEC.
Rows taken off the old survey maps open the USGS record of what sits at that spot, because no single feature on those maps has a page of its own. Rows from the mine records open their own USGS page.
Tennessee 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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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 56 investigations in Maury County since fiscal 2005 and recorded $898,498 in back wages agreed for 922 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.

Maury County's court notice places the Circuit, General Sessions Part I and Juvenile Part I courts and clerk offices in the new Justice Center at 1115 South Main Street in Columbia. The move occurred on October 14, 2024, and the notice says the clerk telephone numbers stayed the same. An older courthouse address can therefore be misleading even when an old telephone number still reaches staff. The clerk lists weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and separate numbers for criminal, traffic and civil work. Match the court division to the requested record through the Maury court relocation and contact notice.
General Sessions Part II is identified at 130 Bluegrass Avenue in Mount Pleasant, separate from the Columbia Justice Center. The Circuit Clerk's responsibilities span Circuit Court, both General Sessions parts and Juvenile Court, but the physical court location still matters when arranging an inspection or hearing-related visit. Give staff the case number and court part, particularly when a name appears in more than one matter. A filing-fee schedule describes commencing or processing a case; it does not necessarily establish the price of a certified copy from an existing file. The county explains its court divisions on the Circuit Court service page (maurycounty-tn.gov).
The Register of Deeds maintains recorded instruments that affect Maury real estate and supplies routes for public viewing and printing. Its counter is in Room 108 at 1 Public Square in Columbia, while the published mailing address is P.O. Box 769, Columbia, TN 38402. The office lists 931-375-2101 and weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Its resources include TitleSearcher, a fee calculator, Tennessee property data and the Trustee's real-estate tax information. Keep the street and mailing destinations separate, and use the instrument type and page details when checking the charge with the Maury Register of Deeds.
Maury's County Clerk keeps marriage-license copies and the minutes and resolutions of the county legislative body. These are separate from the judicial records handled by the Circuit Clerk. The County Clerk is at 10 Public Square, telephone 931-375-5200. Published service windows also differ by transaction: marriage, business-license and notary applications are listed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., while some vehicle-related work has a longer window. The office closes at 4 p.m. on the first Friday of each month. Specify the record product and check its service window using the Maury County Clerk instructions.
Maury County Archives collects and preserves original county documents and makes them available for research. Its location is 201 East Sixth Street in Columbia, with telephone 931-375-1501. The published research schedule is Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with Friday through Sunday closed. The archive's featured first court-minute book illustrates why the historical collection is a separate research destination from a current clerk transaction. Before a visit, identify the names, approximate dates and record series sought and ask whether the needed material is an original volume, a transcription or another format. Plan the visit through the Maury Archives contact and collection page.
The county Health Department lists birth and death certificate services at 1909 Hampshire Pike, Columbia, telephone 931-388-5757, with weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Its local certificate description refers to Tennessee births from 1949 forward. The state now separately describes statewide electronic issuance at county health offices, so an older event should be discussed with the office using the state instructions rather than silently assuming the local summary settles every record's availability. Identify the event and required certificate, and check eligibility and the route applicable to that order through the Maury certificate-service contact.
For Tennessee's present county-office issuance policy, consult the state Office of Vital Records.
The county's public-record policy allows Tennessee citizens to request inspection orally or in writing, while copies or combined inspection-and-copy requests must be submitted in writing using the county form. The request should identify the records with enough detail to locate them, and the policy requires Tennessee-issued photo identification. If records cannot be supplied promptly, the county says it will respond within seven business days with the records, a legally based denial or an estimated production timeframe. That response step is not an unconditional seven-day completion promise. The named contacts and submission instructions appear in the Maury public-records policy.
For a Maury crash or incident report, the Sheriff's Office supplies a public-records form and identifies where to return it. Its instructions give 1300 Lawson White Drive in Columbia for the report request, together with an email and fax route. The office page separately provides inmate information and custody-notification resources; those do not replace a request for a particular incident report or a court document. Keep the incident date, report reference and involved names with the form, and distinguish the law-enforcement record from a later prosecution. The current return instructions are on the Maury Sheriff records page.
