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.

Notes: TYPED. Smallest claim in batch - only 10 inches. Notable for DESERT LAND RECLAMATION - explicitly for reclaiming unsurveyed desert land. Dam located by precise bearing/distance (142.58 chains from quarter section corner). Recorded at request of F.W. Caldwell (different first initial - likely family). Same filing date as Crowley (March 7, 1902).
