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: Booth claim #7 — THIRD Cedar Creek filing (October, after June and August). Same 2800 inches, same location (westerly bank, 2 miles from South Fork Pit River confluence). Witness Louis Shaw. Three filings in 4 months suggests Booth was uncertain about legal sufficiency of his claims, or was trying to establish continuous appropriation effort.
