Court: Supreme Court of the United States; June 15, 1981; Federal Supreme Court; Federal Appellate Court
The Supreme Court case "State of California v. State of Arizona and the United States" addresses the ownership of certain lands in the bed of the former channel of the Colorado River. The Court has approved the Report of the Special Master and granted the joint motion for a decree submitted by California and Arizona. Key points of the decree include:
1. California is declared the owner in fee simple of specific lands detailed in Exhibit A, with permanent and fixed boundaries, and Arizona and the U.S. are enjoined from asserting any rights to these lands.
2. Arizona is declared the owner in fee simple of lands detailed in Exhibit B, also with permanent and fixed boundaries, and California and the U.S. are similarly enjoined from claiming rights to these lands.
3. The decree does not affect the political boundary established by a 1966 congressional compact.
4. It explicitly states that no determinations are made regarding the federal navigational servitude related to the lands in question.
5. Costs associated with the Special Master are to be shared by the parties, with each party bearing its own litigation costs.
Exhibit A specifies a parcel of land in Imperial County, California, with precise geographical coordinates and a detailed description of its boundaries.
The excerpt provides a detailed series of directional measurements and distances, indicating specific bearings and lengths in feet for a property or boundary description. Each line lists a directional bearing (in degrees, minutes, and seconds) followed by the distance in feet. The bearings range from various north and east orientations to north and west orientations, detailing a comprehensive outline of the property boundaries. Several pairs of coordinates are mentioned sequentially, indicating precise surveying details that are crucial for defining the property’s legal boundaries. The format consistently follows the pattern of directional heading followed by distance, indicating meticulous documentation for legal or surveying purposes.
A series of directional measurements and distances are provided, specifying various bearings and lengths for a total of 743 segments. Each segment is denoted by a compass direction (e.g., N, S, E, W) followed by angular degrees, minutes, and seconds, along with the distance in feet. The coordinates indicate a structured path or boundary, likely pertaining to a survey or land description. The format consistently includes the directional notation and the corresponding distance, reflecting a detailed layout of the area in question.
The excerpt lists a series of directional bearings and distances, indicating a precise survey of land boundaries or property lines. Each entry consists of a compass direction (e.g., N 70x43'07" W) followed by a distance in feet (e.g., 254.91 feet). The entries are sequentially numbered, suggesting they are part of a larger survey or legal description. The bearings include various angles and distances, indicating a complex boundary configuration. The document appears to serve as a detailed record for land demarcation or property description purposes, providing essential data for legal or administrative use.
Coordinates detail a specific land description, including numerous directional bearings and distances, culminating in a brass tablet marked "N-MID-CAL 1981" with California Coordinate System, Zone 6 coordinates (x: 2,472,838.61 feet, y: 432,666.01 feet). This tablet is situated on the westerly boundary of land parcels taken by condemnation in two cases: United States v. 243.25 Acres of Land (Civil No. 3505-SD-Smith, S.D. Cal. 1973) and United States v. 67.57 Acres of Land (Civil No. 5925-Phx-Craig, D. Ariz. 1972). The description includes a series of 451 directional courses downstream, ultimately establishing a fixed and limiting boundary for the described parcel, alongside references to specific land survey monuments and coordinates relevant to the area.
The document outlines a series of directional measurements and distances, indicating various bearings and lengths associated with a property or land parcel. Each entry specifies a cardinal direction (South, North, East, West), followed by angular measurements (degrees, minutes, seconds) and the corresponding distance in feet. The coordinates appear to define a complex boundary or survey line for the property, detailing numerous segments with specific angles and lengths, indicating extensive perimeter delineation. The data is presented in sequential order, likely reflecting the legal description required for land registration or boundary establishment.
The excerpt contains a series of directional bearings and distances, detailing the boundaries of a property. Each line includes a specific angle and distance, formatted as "N" (North), "S" (South), "E" (East), or "W" (West), followed by the degree, minute, and second of the angle, and the length in feet. The entries are sequentially numbered, starting from a specific point and outlining numerous segments that define the perimeter of the property. The bearings range from various angles, indicating a complex shape, with distances varying significantly across the segments. The final entry ends with a partial line, suggesting the continuation of the boundary description.
The excerpt provides a series of directional bearings and measurements, detailing a sequence of lines defined by angles and distances. Each line is specified with a cardinal direction (e.g., S, N, E, W) followed by an angular measurement in degrees, minutes, and seconds, and a linear distance in feet. The sequence includes multiple entries, each denoted by a unique identifier, indicating a detailed geometric representation of a property boundary or land survey. The measurements include both easterly and westerly directions, with varying distances, suggesting a complex shape or layout for the land in question.
The document provides a series of directional coordinates and distances formatted in degrees, minutes, and seconds, indicating specific bearings and lengths for various segments. Each line details a direction (e.g., S 46° 51' 11" W) followed by a distance (e.g., 142.59 feet) and is numbered sequentially. The coordinates suggest a methodical approach to outlining a particular property boundary or survey line, with numerous segments defined by their respective angles and distances, covering a range of movements in the southern and eastern quadrants. The data appears to be part of a larger survey or legal description, capturing precise measurements for property delineation.
Coordinates and measurements define a specific parcel of land using the California Coordinate System, Zone 6. The description includes a series of bearings and distances, starting from a designated brass tablet marked "S-LB-ARIZ LB-1002-1981." Key coordinates are provided for various points along the boundary, with the final point marking the center line of the former Colorado River channel. The bearings and distances are confirmed to be based on the California Coordinate System, Zone 6, ensuring precision in the land description.
