Field notes
The page distinguishes a point of diversion from a property boundary and from the place water is ultimately used, warning that a mapped dot does not establish ownership. It also explains priority dates and how seniority can determine who draws water first during shortages. Coverage varies by state: the site lists specific data or format problems for several omissions, and says it avoids republishing New Mexico owners’ mailing addresses.
