PARK County
T8.0S R76.0W Sec 1
One surveyed section, about a square mile CO060080S0760W0SN010 Free summary
This is a 3.0-acre parcel in Park County. No well permit in the record states an address on it, which is the usual case and is not the same as there being no well. The square mile around it holds 41 water rights of record and 152 well permits, which is the grain Colorado files water at. 1 of the rights irrigate at more than household scale. The most serious thing in the record is that the court has abandoned or canceled part of 4 rights here, and 7 other findings change the deal.
