Local profile
Tucson, a place of 542,629 people, is the seat of Pima County. Court and property records sit with Pima County, and birth and death certificates come from the State of Arizona. Tucson's own offices are in the cards above, and our Pima 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 USGS mineral file records 39 named mine sites inside the city or town limits, 26 of them worked out or abandoned; the USGS topographic mine features add 128 features mapped inside the city or town limits, 1 of them shafts, adits or tunnels, digitised from the old survey sheets. The minerals the records name are Geothermal; construction sand and gravel; Brick Clay.
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.
Arizona 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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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.
