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
- Source Name: Creek now named 'Owens Creek' — same as unnamed creek from July 1878 claim
- Claimant Name: Second name reads 'Henry Cambridge' or 'Henry Combs'
