Water-right lineage

This timeline puts WDID 0100511’s decreed rights (Weldon Valley Ditch) — the same rights as the portfolio above — in chronological order by appropriation date (oldest first), grouped by decade. It reflects DWR’s current net-amounts tabulation, not a complete decree history: intermediate decrees, changes, and abandonment proceedings exist only in the underlying court case files. It is not a title opinion and not a complete chain of title.

As of 2026-07-27, DWR Water Rights Net Amounts. DWR's associated-case references are shown verbatim from its bulk water-rights export, as of 2026-08-11 — some entries are date-like artifacts of DWR's own data, not case numbers; DitchBook has not verified them against court files. 3 additional rights recorded only as alternate-point/exchange (APEX) net amounts are not included in this timeline.

Irrigated acreage history

These snapshots track state-mapped parcel linkage to the listed structures; they do not measure the company's operations or status.

• Corn
• Alfalfa
• Grass Pasture
• Sugar Beets
• Small Grains
• Other crops

Source: CDSS Division 1 Irrigated Lands snapshots (1956, 1976, 1987, 1997, 2001, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020). These parcels are the ones the state links to WDID 0100511. The parcels are mapped by the State of Colorado, not by the company and not by DitchBook. The state's mapping for this company includes parcels the state also links to a groundwater (well) supply; parcels the state maps to this company's structures together with other structures; parcels the state maps to this company's structures alone. Where parcels are shared with other structures or linked to a well, the acres shown are not all served by this company's ditch alone. How this page is built.

Footprint: state-mapped irrigated parcels for WDID 0100511, 2020 snapshot, from CDSS Irrigated Lands. The dashed outline is a service-area layer (vintage 2005) shown for context only — it is not used for any figure on this page; source: CDSS Div1_Canals package, Div1_Ditch_Service_Area_2005. The solid line is this company's ditch/canal alignment — USGS National Hydrography Dataset (hydro.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/rest/services/nhd/MapServer/6), name-matched against DWR structure/company name and reviewed by DitchBook as of 2026-08-07 — mapping-grade, not a survey. Shown for 1 of 1 reviewed structure. The second solid line is South Platte River, this company's published water source, matched the same way. Satellite imagery is available via the map's Satellite/Map toggle, courtesy of USDA/USGS (The National Map), public domain. Boundaries are the state's, drawn to locate the land, not to settle it.

Recorded diversions

Scroll the table sideways to see every column.

• Published record
• Provisional record (not final)

As of 2026-07-27, DWR diversion records for WDID 0100511. Annual values follow the DWR water year (November–October). Years marked provisional are DWR's own provisional records — the state has not finalized them, and they are drawn with a dashed outline above. All other years are published records. A diversion record is what the state's records show ran through the headgate; it is not a share, an entitlement, or a company allocation. How this page is built.

Share counts are published only with a citation to the document that states them. If you have the company's records — a decree, an annual report, the bylaws — tell us and we will add it with the citation.
