Field notes
A search can start with a geocode, a landowner name copied as it appears on a tax record, or parcels tapped on a map. The page says reports sort rights by priority date and place record issues ahead of the rest; examples include a right still listed under a prior owner and irrigated acreage without a corresponding irrigation right. Its listed source systems are Montana DNRC, Montana Cadastral, and the Ground Water Information Center.
