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: R18E unlikely - may be R16E
- Township: T48N R18E seems incorrect for Fort Bidwell area (typically T46-47N R16E). May be T46N R16E with digits misread.

Notes: TYPED (copy). Spring on west side of Mount Bidwell. Name spelled both 'Hilderbrand' and 'Hilderbrandt.' Same family as Hilderbrand & Phillips from batch_032 (Fort Bidwell area). References 'section 2291' - likely Revised Statutes Section 2291 (Desert Land Act). Township/range as written (T48N R18E) doesn't match Fort Bidwell geography.
