Local record guide
What we hold on Yachats, and who keeps its records.
Local profile
Yachats is an incorporated place in Lincoln County, a place of 994 people, and keeps its own council and town business records. Newport, the county seat, is where the county offices are. See our Lincoln County page for every 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 mine site inside the city or town limits: 1 past producer, now closed. The mineral the records name is Stone.
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. Oregon has no state abandoned mine land program page; abandoned mine hazards on federal land are a BLM and Forest Service matter.
Oregon 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 Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there.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 1 investigation with a Yachats address since fiscal 2005 and recorded $9,917 in back wages agreed for 13 workers. Snapshot of April 22, 2026; a case here is a finding by the Division, not a court judgment, and the city is the one written on the employer's record.
| Employer | Cases | Back wages | Workers |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Drift Inn | 1 | $9,917 | 13 |
