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: No T/R given, only Hot Spring Valley
- Date Filed: Originally filed in Siskiyou County May 20, 1872. Re-filed in Modoc County May 9, 1875 as certified transcript.
