Synopsis

General Reclamation Circular (Approved May 18, 1916) helps you understand how the United States regulated arid-land reclamation and land entries in the early 20th century.

This historic circular outlines the laws and regulations specifically applying to reclamation homestead entries, water-right applications, and related procedures. It frames how withdrawals, farm-unit planning, town-site development, and water rights fit into the broader program of irrigation and land management.

• Learn what governs land withdrawals and how settlements move toward entry under the reclamation act.
• See how farm units are divided, subdivided, and replatted to support families and return charges to the reclamation fund.
• Discover how town sites are surveyed, appraised, and sold, with rules on water rights and transfer considerations.
• Understand the role of project managers, registers, and receivers in applying these laws at the local level.

Ideal for readers of historical land policy, public administration, and early 20th-century irrigation projects.
