Layer: Nevada Water Initiative - Decree Boundaries (ID: 0)

View In:   ArcGIS Online Map Viewer

Name: Nevada Water Initiative - Decree Boundaries

Display Field: FeatureID

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This dataset is a representation of the boundaries of the original claims (or water-righted places of use) sourced from Pine Creek and tributaries, as identified by the Sixth Judicial District Court in the Barlett Decree of 1931, as well as Duckwater and Currant Creek and tributaries, as identified by the Fifth Judicial District Court in the Duckwater Decree of 1909 and 1910 and the Currant Creek Decree of 1921. These data are intended to assist in identifying the general locations of water-righted areas and their associated claim numbers. This mapping project was initiated in 2024 to assist in determining historical pumpage estimates for the demonstration basins, Pine Valley (053) and Railroad Valley (173B), where groundwater rights may be supplemental to surface water for the Nevada Water Initiative, with the final result being a feature class identifying the locations of each claim for the Pine, Duckwater and Currant Creek Decrees. This GIS layer exists only as a guide and starting point to identify the approximate locations of the water-righted areas in comparison to modern place of use boundaries. Further research is required to determine if a particular place of use originally had decreed water rights and whether it has retained those rights. Please contact the Division of Water Resources for more information. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>In order to produce a GIS depiction of the claims, the decree maps when available were georeferenced to the most up-to-date version of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) dataset. If decree maps were not available, places of use were mapped based on subdivision descriptions found within the decrees. Each claim was then digitized from the boundaries shown on the georeferenced map and attributed with the assigned claim number and linked with associated information for each claim as described in the decree. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
