1. File with the board of supervisors and county recorder of the county in which the major part of the lands proposed to be irrigated from district works are located a map or maps certified by the engineer or engineers and by the secretary of the district. The maps shall accurately delineate the boundaries of the district, the proposed location of storage reservoirs, diversion dams, power plants, irrigation canals, principal laterals and the parcels of lands proposed to be irrigated thereby.

3. After filing the map and list, publish once each week for a period of four weeks in at least one newspaper of general circulation in each county in which any part of the land is located a notice of filing the map and list. The notice shall contain a description of all lands described in the list and shall direct all persons to appear at a time not later than sixty days from the date of first publication of the notice and show cause before such board of supervisors why the parcels of land so listed, delineated and described should not be finally included within the district subjected to the cost and burdens of the proposed works. The notice shall further direct any and all persons to appear at the same time and place, and show cause why lands within the district omitted from the list should not be excluded from the district. The cost of publication of the notice shall be paid by the district.
