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.
Other water rights registered with the state at T43N R9E S6,7,12,13,14,18,19,23,24 — possibly descendants or successors to unregistered pre-1914 rights.
