State Database (eWRIMS)
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: Range never explicitly stated - ditto marks used but no range value given. Likely R12E or R13E based on Dorris family claims in area.
- Section: Sec 36 and Sec 6 are on opposite corners of a township - long distance for a tunnel/ditch
