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
- Range: R5E is unusual for this area - may be R15E
- Township: Written as '4' but likely T44N based on context
