Routt County Ditch Claim  Statements
1902 -1903

By Anne Jerrard, Colorado State Archives

The following index was compiled from the official record of the Ditch Claim Statements filed in the District Court of Routt County by the owner(s) of said ditches for the years 1902-1903. The record generally identifies the name of the ditch, names of the owners including post office address, location of headgate and county it is located in, name of river or stream water is being diverted from, legal description at which water is drawn, general direction of the flow of the ditch, its length, width, depth and grade. The information may include the original date of appropriation, enlargement or extension of the ditch is recorded to include the amount of flow, present cubic footage capacity and the number of acres irrigated.

An earnest effort was made to transcribe each name correctly. However, some of the handwritten entries were hard to read, making it difficult to ensure that the spelling of the name is accurate. Please check similar or closely spelled names, this may help you in your search.

If you find a name on this list, and you would like a copy of that person's record, please contact us. We will respond to mail, e-mail (please include your post office address in the e-mail), and phone requests. We do have search, handling and copy fees. Please contact us in order to find out the charges for your request.
