Series documents the financial and legal affairs of the Columbia Southern Irrigating Company and its predecessor the Three Sisters Irrigating Ditch Company concerning an irrigation project and the reclamation of land along the west side of the Deschutes River in Crook County.
Series contains records of the Columbia Southern Irrigating (Irrigation) Company; the Three Sisters Irrigating Ditch Company; and the Oregon, Washington, and Idaho Finance Company, which was involved with the transfer of rights between the irrigating companies. Land and water rights were eventually transferred to the state of Oregon.
Series includes correspondence; corporation records such as by-laws, minutes, and stock certificates; legal documents such as contracts, mortgages, and depositions; land records such as deeds, abstracts, and land descriptions; and fiscal records. The primary topics of the records in this series concern the ownership of land, the sale and purchase of water rights, reclamation, and irrigation projects.
Related records are the Certificates of Proof, Desert Land Board Records, Desert Land Board Reclamation Records, and Irrigation Project Claim Payment Records.
