PARK County
T9.0S R75.0W Sec 34
One surveyed section, about a square mile CO060090S0750W0SN340 Free summary
This is a 2.1-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 37 water rights of record and 210 well permits, which is the grain Colorado files water at. None of the rights allows irrigation, so nothing here waters a field on paper. The most serious thing in the record is that 1 of 37 rights are administered far more junior than they look, and 9 other findings change the deal.

Where this water sits in the queue
