Local record guide
What we hold on Rowland Heights, and who keeps its records.
Local profile
There is no town hall in Rowland Heights. It is a Census designated place, not an incorporated town, so its records sit with Los Angeles County. The Los Angeles County offices are in City of Los Angeles, the county seat. Each Los Angeles County office is listed on our Los Angeles County page.
Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the two federal mine files
The USGS mineral file records 1 named mine site inside the city or town limits, 1 of them worked out or abandoned. The mineral the records name is Geothermal.
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.
Please read: Everything here can be wrong. This is information, not a guarantee: the two federal files can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, the boundaries and the geocoder can be wrong, a point is a location and not a property line, and nothing on this page says that a mine is or is not under any particular property. Do not buy, sell, move, or make any decision about a home or about your safety on this alone. Ask the state mine map office named here for the maps, and have a qualified engineer look at the ground.
