The State Engineer's own map of Water District No. 38 — today's Roaring Fork River Basin — drawn for the 1889-1890 biennial report, every decreed ditch on it.
Shows: Which ditches the State Engineer's office recorded in Water District No. 38 in 1889-1890, and where they took their water; the district's extent as the office drew it then.
What this does not let you conclude: The district's boundary today: water-district lines have been redrawn since, and the division number printed on the plate is the division numbering of the time, not DWR's. Nothing on the plate says which of these ditches still runs, or what any of them diverts now. The years the report covers; the plates were issued with it.
