Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 49 mine sites inside the parish: 24 past producers, now closed, 21 sites producing when the record was made, 1 processing plant, which is not a working, 3 sites with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 93 holes drawn inside the parish, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The mineral the records name is construction sand and gravel.
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. Louisiana's underground mines are salt mines; no state abandoned mine inventory is published.
Louisiana 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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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.
Labor Department file
The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division closed 287 investigations in St. Tammany Parish since fiscal 2005 and recorded $3,823,075 in back wages agreed for 3,843 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.
The 25 employers with the most back wages agreed, of 264 on the St. Tammany Parish record; 70 employers have a page of their own and open from the table, the rest show their whole record here. The 239 more with smaller records are on the Louisiana wage theft records page, whose search answers for every employer in the state.
The Clerk's current online-services menu sends archives, land records and marriage-license searches to Cott Record Hub, while civil and criminal court records use re:SearchLA. A legacy login or saved search address may no longer represent the current route. Begin at the Clerk's menu and record the service used with the result. A successful land search does not establish that a related court file is included in the same account or collection.
The Archives Department describes civil suits through June 1987, successions through 1996, criminal records through 1976, and marriage licenses through 1969. Its conveyance and mortgage collections have different ranges. Do not apply one cutoff to every record class. Preserve the record type and date when asking which department should handle an overlap. The current archival request-form labels should be checked against the collection description before treating either as a universal boundary.
The Civil Department publishes a dated status notice for pleadings, orders and scanning. These stages can be working on different filing dates. A new case event may therefore not have a corresponding image at the moment of the search. Note the status notice's review date, the case identifier and the specific pleading sought. Contact Civil customer service about the individual filing when timing matters rather than infer absence from an image that has not appeared.
The Land Records Department is on the ground level of the Justice Center at 701 North Columbia Street, Covington, with customer service at 985-809-8710 and published hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Its collections include acts of sale, mortgages, cancellations, judgments of possession, maps and surveys. When a succession document affects property, retain both the court reference and any recorded land reference rather than treating the collections as interchangeable.
The Archives instructions identify the basement reached through Elevator B and a daily midday closure Civil uses a different basement access point. Before visiting, determine which department holds the record and whether an archival form or current case-copy request is appropriate. The archive's collection list includes citizenship, naturalization, inquests and notarial material as well as property records, allowing a historical inquiry to follow occupations and family connections across record types.
The Clerk contact instructions send ordinary mail to P.O. Box 1090, Covington, LA 70434, and FedEx or UPS packages to 701 North Columbia Street, Covington, LA 70433. The Slidell annex offers limited departmental services and cannot receive mail or packages. Confirm the requested service before a Slidell visit. The Louisiana records guide adds statewide routes while keeping parish records tied to their actual custodian.
