Local profile
Wells is in Rutland County, whose county seat is Rutland. Wells's town clerk keeps its land records and copies of birth and death certificates, and court cases go through the Vermont Superior Court unit for Rutland County. Wells's own offices are in the cards above, and our Rutland 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 1 named mine site inside the city or town limits, 0 of them worked out or abandoned.
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. Vermont publishes no abandoned mine map; the Elizabeth copper mine is a federal Superfund site.
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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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.
