Among the records are: statistical data from the office of the State Engineer and Surveyor; unattributed field notes pertaining to the canal's Western Division; correspondence on many unrelated matters; copies of indentures of property and related blueprint maps; blueprint copies of estimates for materials; and notes of what is apparently an inventory of canal contract materials.
The series is unarranged and unprocessed.
