Record Series: CM/S3

Name: WATER RIGHTS REFERENCE MAPS

Date Range: 1927 - 1978; (predominant 1952 - 1978)

Extent: 274 sheets; sizes and scales differ; includes base maps on

linen, paper, and mylar, with pencil and coloured ink annotations added by hand.

Creator(s): 1927 - 1962 Department of Lands. Water Rights Branch.

1962 - 1975 Department of Lands, Forests, and Water Resources. Water Resources Service. IWater Rights Branch.

1975 - 1978 Ministry of Environment. Water Rights Branch.

Source: Ministry of Environment. Water Management Branch.

Scope and Content: This series provided the Water Rights Branch

with a medium- to- large scale overview of its administrative areas, displaying both water rights information and detailed land status information produced by other natural resource agencies in government. The series consists of standard reference base maps (maps produced by the Department of Lands and successors in order to document the current status of Crown Lands title) upon which has been added a broad array of specific water rights administrative information. The base and added map information includes administrative boundaries: most notably, those of water districts and precincts, but also those of waterworks, recreation, and improvement districts, and of ecological, water, and other reserves. Depicted as well are flood areas (often with flooding contours), river improvement areas, and various forest, mine works, and other areas. In addition to the base cadastral information (such as surveyed lot boundaries and numbers) the maps also display conditional and final water licence numbers, correspondence file numbers, approval numbers, and numbers identifying gazette notices and orders- in- council. Finally, the reference maps contain numerous references to other map and plan sheets. Related sheets of particular interest include those in the first and second series of the Water Rights Maps (CM/B1575 and CM/S4) and those in the Water Rights Plans Series (CM/S5- S7).

The series was received by BC ARCHIVES in 1981. Researchers should note, however, that sheets were not received for large areas of central and northeastern B.C.

Arrangement: The maps are arranged according to the National

Topographic Series (NTS) map indexing system. A basic NTS map index, annotated to depict the coverage of the series, is provided at the end of the accompanying series list. A more detailed NTS index is on display in the BC ARCHIVES Map Reference area.
