Neutral description#

The document identifies an earlier historical overflow-water provision. It does not establish a complete title chain, the present scope of a provision, or current water rights.

A later reference in the water-history record#

This deed is included because it identifies the earlier overflow-water provision discussed in the library. Its instrument date is 1 June 1978; its recording date is 26 June 1978. The reference OR 1498/555 identifies Humboldt County Official Records volume 1498, page 555.

Begin with the 1959 Smith-to-Clarke deed to read the earlier document. The later reference helps connect the records historically, but it does not by itself supply every intervening instrument or describe the condition of a tank or water system in 1978.

Research use and source context#

The linked public PDF is the document consulted by the library. A reader should inspect its full wording before quoting or interpreting a provision. Preserve the date and recording reference so the source can be identified independently of this explanatory page.

The water-history article explains what the two cataloged deeds establish and what remains unknown about the water source. The timeline places them in chronological order. For the broader historical collection, return to the Jay Smith Road water-history summary or the public source register.
