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: Township and range not clearly specified
- Size Inches: Text difficult to read — appears to be 1000 inches but could be different amount

Joshua C. Brown of Cedarville Township, County of Modoc, have this day located and appropriated and do claim for the purposes of irrigation one thousand inches of the waters flowing in Cottonwood Creek. Said water right has been more fully established by the construction of a ditch 40 inches wide and 18 inches deep. Said ditch was built in 1870. Further I give notice that I can and I will enlarge my present ditch to sufficient capacity in order to convey one hundred additional inches. Dated July 14, 1875. Joshua C. Brown.
