Surveying and Subdividing Fort Stockton Irrigated Lands Blocks & Canal Lateral in Pecos County

When Fort Stockton Irrigated Lands Company (led by James Rooney & Fort Stockton Artesian Irrigation Group) executed its Pecos County conveyances anchored at Pecos County Deed Records Vol. 19, Page 31 (1910-07-12) & Vol. 20, Page 287 (1914-02-13), each instrument tied its metes-and-bounds calls directly to Fort Stockton Irrigated Lands Blocks & Canal Laterals (79+ Conveyances in Vols. 18, 19 & 20). In the Comanche Springs artesian basin and Pecos Valley, those survey ties and subdivision calls remain the controlling reference for modern parcel boundaries and abstract examinations.

“Anchored in the official records of Pecos County (TX) at Pecos County Deed Records Vol. 19, Page 31 (1910-07-12) & Vol. 20, Page 287 (1914-02-13), covering Fort Stockton Irrigated Lands Blocks & Canal Laterals (79+ Conveyances in Vols. 18, 19 & 20).”
