Entity and Attribute Information:

Entity type label: MusselshellWaterRights1995

Entity type definition: Point feature class

Attribute label: FID

Attribute definition: shapefile sequence number

Attribute label: Shape

Attribute definition: feature geometry

Attribute label: HD55_

Attribute definition:: Sequence number from original Esri coverage version of the data

Attribute label: HD55_ID

Attribute definition: ID number from original Esri coverage version of the data

Attribute label: WRKEY

Attribute definition:: ID number for the water right associated with this diversion location. This consists of a 3-character watershed code, a space, a character, and an 8 digit number. The watershed code and the 8 digit number seem to correspond to the characters in the WRNUMBER field of the current (2014) water right database, but the character spacing is different.

Attribute label: MAPKEY

Attribute definition:: This appears to be a combination of the watershed code and the HD55_ID value

Attribute label: CATEGORY

Attribute definition: Water use category code
