Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 103 mine sites inside the county: 5 past producers, now closed, 1 prospect or occurrence that was never worked, 13 sites producing when the record was made, 8 processing plants, which are not workings, 76 sites with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 97 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Aluminum; Flagstone; crushed stone.
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.
Pulaski County lies on the edge of a mapped coal field and the coal there is lignite, 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 county. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by Arkansas DEQ Coal Program (abandoned coal mine reclamation) and linked below.
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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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.
Know before you ask
Each figure below was read on the official source linked beside it, October to November 2026. A fee or rule the source does not state is left out rather than guessed, and offices can change their schedules, so confirm on the source before you pay or travel.
The Real Estate Department notice identifies an October 5, 2026 land-system transition and says free online recording will be temporarily unavailable, directing electronic filers to approved vendors. The same department describes online research from 1994 forward and appointment-based research for earlier material. Confirm the current portal and service status before relying on a saved submission link. A recording interruption should not be reported as a closure of every research service.
The linked Real Estate instructions require online booking for earlier-document research and do not accept appointment requests by telephone or email. They also retain a dated microfiche interruption notice without a stated year, alongside a reopened-research-area message. Ask about the exact medium and period you need rather than assuming that notice establishes a current closure. Bring names, an approximate transaction date and any earlier book/page citation to make the appointment productive.
Central Receiving instructions distinguish new civil, domestic and probate filings from existing cases handled by Court Clerks. Juvenile matters have their own location and contact. A request for an old order does not become a new case filing merely because the requester has never contacted the office before. Identify the proceeding and record sought before selecting a payment or filing option.
County Records copy instructions list certified copies at $5 and provide pickup or US mail delivery; they cannot be emailed. Send the party names and document description with the payment instructions, adding the case number when known. A downloaded case entry may help identify the record but does not change the delivery rule for the Clerk-sealed copy.
The marriage-record service also lists certified copies at $5, available by pickup or mail rather than email. Use the names on the recorded license and distinguish a copy request from applying for a new license. The department fee directory separates payment instructions by service; do not apply the new-license payment restrictions automatically to every records order.
The Clerk contact directory places Real Estate in Room 102, County Records and Marriage License in Room 103, Central Receiving in Room 120 and Court Clerks in Room 121 at West Markham Street. Confirm any specialized counter arrangements before visiting. The Arkansas records guide connects these county functions with state court searches and certificate services when the record belongs elsewhere.
