This right, known as the Bolton <br />Ditch, is located in the NW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Sec.ll, <br />TBN, R78W as identified on Plate IV. Filed under Case <br />No. W-846, this right bears an appropriation of 15 cfs, <br />has an appropriation date of October 1, 1947, and a previous <br />adjudication date of December 31, 1974. Diversion records, <br />presented in Table III, show the maximum estimated historic <br />diversion to be 10 cfs with flows in most years averaging <br />2-5 cfs. <br />In addition to this right, there are a number of other <br />surface water facilities in Bolton Draw. In the extreme <br />upper end of the draw, in Sec. 24, T8N, R78W, there are <br />a number of small springs used for stock and wildlife <br />watering. Stock ponds lie in Sections 2 and 10 of <br />T8N, R78W and a small reservoir lies below the workings <br />of the Marc Mine in Sec.35, T9N, R78W. An extension <br />of the Spear Ditch runs along the southeast edge of Bolton <br />Draw, however, this ditch delivers Michigan Creek waters <br />to lands behind the 3-Rivers Ranch in the Michigan Creek <br />drainage and does not impact Bolton Draw. <br />17 <br />
