It would depend on when the land was settled. Since most of the boundaries will result from the govt survey, it is not likely you find something using water as a boundary. It is not even likely that you will find an historic patent that uses water as a boundary either, the govt survey did not use that measure and the land offices wouldn't issue them that way. There are also no patents to prove up eithey so that is a moot point. The Homestead Acts were repealed at 20 some years ago and once a patent is issued title passes by deed.
