Oklahoma Riparian Question
I’m dealing with an easement near the North Canadian River and trying to read up on Oklahoma riparian rights. I note that the rivers in Oklahoma have been determined to be non-navigable in nature except that portion of the Arkansas between its junction with the Grand (Neosho) River to the Arkansas State line. This thready portion of the North Canadian I am working near definitely lacks any semblance of a navigable river, but the original surveyors meandered and lotted the sections through which it passes. Most if the modern legal descriptions I am looking at fail to even reference the Lots and just stick with the aliquot descriptions. I’m not sure why the original surveyors went to the effort to meander and lot the non-navigable river if the present day owners don’t acknowledge the lines.
