Carey Act land filing under State Land Board supervision
Under the Carey Act the State Land Board oversees irrigation system and dam construction after Federal Reclamation Department approval. The board protects settler interests as canals and dams become settlers’ property. Citizens over 21 may file up to 160 acres. Filing less than 160 does not exhaust the act, and a power of attorney can allow one person to file land for another.
