Not in state DB
This water right does not appear in California's eWRIMS database. The holder likely has not filed a Statement of Diversion and Use with the State Water Resources Control Board. Pre-1914 rights are only in eWRIMS if holders voluntarily filed — many have not, making these rights less visible to the state.
Uncertain Fields
- Township: Siskiyou County transcription - no Modoc T/R given
- Size Inches: Text says 'two hundred inches'
- Source Name: Reads as 'Mudder Creek' or possibly 'Murder Creek' — the creek known as Mudder Creek, in Eagle Creek area
