SERIES: 25666
TITLE: Boundary line settlements
DATES: 1994-
ARRANGEMENT: Alphabetical by adjacent land owner name.

DESCRIPTION: The Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands manages those lands lying below the ordinary high water mark of navigable bodies of water (UCA 65A-1-1) (2004) throughout the state. When the ordinary high water mark is not evident a boundary must be established, and a registered surveyor determines the location of the boundary. A boundary line settlement in the form of an agreement of stipulation and compromise is prepared and signed by the upland owner and the Division. These records provide institutional memory of negotiated boundaries and the documents executed during the process are recorded with county recorders. This series includes agreements of stipulation and compromise and other supporting documentation. Navigable bodies of water within the state include the Great Salt Lake, Utah Lake, Bear Lake, Bear River, Green River, and the Jordan and Colorado Rivers.
