Local record guide
What we hold on Russellville, and who keeps its records.
Local profile
Russellville, a place of 10,855 people, is the seat of Franklin County, so most county offices are in Russellville itself. The town keeps its own council and business records. In Alabama, deeds, marriage certificates, wills and estates are recorded by the Judge of Probate, which for Russellville means the Franklin County Probate Office. Court cases, from small claims to felonies, go through the Franklin County Circuit Clerk. Our Franklin County page lists each county office.
Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 18 mine sites inside the city or town limits: 1 past producer, now closed, 2 prospects or occurrences that were never worked, 2 sites producing when the record was made, 13 sites with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 11 holes drawn inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is Iron.
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. The Geological Survey of Alabama coal page is a script application that gives this box no readable text, so it is not listed.
Alabama 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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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.
