Get the data
No download is available for this dataset yet. It is catalogued here so the record layout and code lookups are at least written down.
What this is
The paperwork itself: scanned images of the Form W-1 applications and the survey plats attached to them, published nightly as PDFs.
This is where the information that never made it into a structured field lives — the hand-drawn plat, the operator's remarks, the signature blocks.
What you can do with it
Read the original filing when the structured record is ambiguous, and recover the plat geometry for a well whose coordinates look wrong.
Gotchas
These are images. There is no text layer to search and no record layout — everything useful in them has to be read by a person or run through OCR.
EZRRC does not parse this file. Upstream has not built a reader for it yet, so the catalog documents it and links to the Commission's own copy rather than pretending to serve rows it does not have.
Record layout
0 columns.
We have not transcribed the record layout for this dataset yet. The RRC manual linked under “Where this comes from” is the authoritative description in the meantime.
