Local record guide
What we hold on Pulaski, and who keeps its records.
Local profile
Pulaski, a place of 8,397 people, is the seat of Giles County, so most county offices are in Pulaski itself. The town keeps its own council and business records. Each Giles County office is listed on our Giles County page.
Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The USGS mineral file records 2 named mine sites inside the city or town limits, 1 of them worked out or abandoned; the USGS topographic mine features add 1 feature mapped inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts, adits or tunnels, digitised from the old survey sheets. The mineral the records name is Phosphorus-Phosphates.
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.
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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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.
