The eastern boundary line of the Rocky Mountain National Park

Beginning at a point on the present eastern boundary line of the
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, which is the northwest corner of
section 2 and the northeast corner of section 3, township 3 north, range
73 west of the sixth principal meridian, Colorado, running thence east
along the township line to its intersection with the main hydrographic
divide east of Cow Creek, between section 31, township 4 north, and
section 6, township 3 north, range 72 west; thence northwesterly
following along said hydrographic divide, passing over Twin Sisters, the
Crags, passing west of Lily Lake, and continuing along said hydrographic
divide, now between Aspen Brook and Fish Creek and passing over Lily
Mountain and Giant-track Mountain to a point which is the southeast
corner of section 34 and the southwest corner of section 35, township 5
north, range 73 west; thence north along the section lines between
sections 34 and 35, 26 and 27, 22 and 23, 14 and 15, to the quarter
corner common to sections 14 and 15, all in township 5 north, range 73
west; thence east along quarter-section line, through sections 14 and
13, township 5 north, range 73 west and along the continuation of said
quarter-section line through section 18 to the quarter corner common to
sections 18 and 17, township 5 north, range 72 west; thence north along
the section line between sections 18 and 17, 7 and 8, 5 and 6, all in
township 5 north, range 72 west, to that point which is the northeast

township and range; thence west along the township line to the township
corner common to townships 5 and 6 north, ranges 72 and 73 west, which
is on the present eastern boundary line of the Rocky Mountain National

And the lands lying between the eastern boundary existing on

between said section corner common to sections 2 and 3, township 3
north, and sections 34 and 35, township 4 north, range 73 west, and said
township corner common to townships 5 and 6 north, ranges 72 and 73
west, are reserved and withdrawn from settlement, occupancy, or disposal
under the laws of the United States, and are made a part of and included
in the Rocky Mountain National Park, and all the provisions of sections
191, and 193 to 195 of this title are made applicable to and extended
over the lands added to the park.
