There is no easement for the canal or earthen dam although a nearby landowner offered to purchase one. The deed bundle is completely intact since the day it was made patent by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914.

In addition, there is a 61 X 45 foot pond where a tributary meets the creek. There is a well near the center of this gorgeous parcel where the original homestead structure once stood that still produces water.
