Historical NoteReturn to Top
During the early years of the New Deal in the 1930s, water conservation funds became available to the states from the federal government. To take advantage of this opportunity, a special session of the Montana Legislative Assembly convened in late 1933 and created the State Water Conservation Board to channel both state and federal money into small irrigation projects. An individual farmer who wanted to build and irrigation facility petitioned the Board and, if his proposal was accepted, the Board built the project and the farmer reimbursed the state. By 1952, the State Water Conservation Board had built 173 projects throughout the state.
In 1965 the Board assumed the functions of the State Engineer and the Carey Land Act Board. In 1967 the Montana Water Resources Board was created to assume the duties of the State Water Conservation Board, and to coordinate all water resource development programs around the state. Other duties included the administration of weather modification laws and the preparation of a comprehensive inventory of the state's water resources and a multiple use water plan for the state.
In 1971, as part of the general reorganization of state government, the Water Resources Board was abolished and its functions taken over in 1972 by the Water Resources Division of the Department of Natural Resources and by the Board of Natural Resources and Conservation.
The Carey Land Act Board was the successor to the State Arid Land Grant Commission [RS 31]. The Board was set up by the 1903 Legislative Assembly, after the Commission was abolished. The bill authorized the Board to undertake projects for reclaiming land granted to the state under the federal Carey Land Act of 1894. Initially the Board was restricted to completing three projects begun by the Arid Land Grant Commission: District 1 near Billings, District 2 near Big Timber, and District 4, known as the Dearborn Canal. The 1905 Legislative Assembly expanded the objectives of the Board, allowing it to undertake new projects. Among these new projects were the Bynum Project, the Conrad-Valier Project, the Teton Project, and numerous smaller projects. The Carey Land Act Board was abolished in 1965 and its duties transferred to the State Water Conservation Board.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
This collection contains interoffice correspondence (1912-1959) among the Carey Land Act Board, individual Board members, and the State Engineer; and general correspondence (1903-1959) primarily with settlers and lease holders of Carey lands. Financial records include receipts (1910-1959) for assignment fees, entry fees, and leases; a cash book (1910-1959); and financial reports (1906-1918, 1941-1962) by the Board secretary and the State Examiner. There is a minute book (1909-1959) plus a typed transcript of minutes (1903-1909). Originals are in the State Arid Land Grant Commission Records [RS 31]. Reports include biennial reports (1904, 1906, 1910) and a report (1941) to the Governor's Committee on Reorganization and Economy. The bulk of the collection consists of subject files (1903-1958) on Carey irrigation projects around the state. The files are not consistent in documentation. Some of the smaller project files contain only a chronology of the project; others (including the Big Timber Project, the Billings Project, the Bynum Irrigation District, the Dearborn Canal, and the Valier Project) are extensive, including detailed correspondence and reports on the building of the project and its eventual disposition. Best documented is the Valier Project.
