 Nevada Journal: What Every Nevadan Should Know About Western Water Law
Consistent with Pinchot’s pledges and the rules Congress had established in 1866, the Toiyabe National Forest issued its first grazing permits by using the standard of ‘past use’—the criterion specified in the Forest Service Use books of both 1905 and 1907.
In early 1997, copies of these early letters (including the names and numbers of the "users") were filed as evidence in the Monitor Valley water adjudication hearing before the state engineer.
It is important to remember that these numbers—high, no doubt, in the view of today’s Forest Service—applied only to the hillsides and mountaintops where the national forests had been established, and not to the valley floors.
