No accurate surveys were made and the only legal restrictions falling within these vague limits were that excess land would revert to the public domain. Many problems were caused by the vague descriptions after California became a territory and later a state. Publication/Article Bowen, Jerry WAYITWAS-2000-11 eng CaVaHC
