CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
SUBCHAPTER XXIV--GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK
Sec. 221a. Boundary changed
The boundary of the Grand Canyon National Park is changed so as to
read as follows:
Beginning at a point on the present south boundary of Grand Canyon
National Park, being the northeast corner of township 30 north, range 1
east, of the Gila and Salt River meridian, Arizona; thence westerly
along north line of said township to the northwest corner of section 1,
said township; thence northerly along west line of section 36, township
31 north, range 1 east, to a point one-half mile south of the center
line of the Supai road survey as mapped and staked by the Bureau of
Public Roads during the field season of 1925; thence in a northwesterly
direction following a line, which maintains a uniform distance one-half
mile south and west of the center line of said road survey, to its
intersection with the projected section line between what probably will
be when surveyed sections 9 and 16, township 32 north, range 2 west;
thence westerly along projected section lines through probable townships
32 north, ranges 2, 3, and 4 west, to its intersection with the upper
west rim of Havasu (Cataract) Canyon; thence northwesterly along said
upper west rim, crossing Hualapai Canyon to Wescogame Point and
continuing northwesterly along said upper rim to Watahomigie Point;
thence due north along the top of a ridge a distance of approximately
three-fourths of a mile to the point of said ridge, the elevation of
which is given as four thousand eight hundred and sixty-five feet;
thence northwesterly, crossing Beaver Canyon, to Yumtheska Point and
continuing northwesterly, following the lower rim of Yumtheska Point,
crossing the projected range line between ranges 4 and 5 west to the
divide west of Havasu Creek; thence northerly along said divide to the
north bank of the Colorado River; thence northeasterly along said bank
to the divide immediately west of Tapeats Creek; thence northeasterly
along said divide, including the entire drainage area on the north side
of Tapeats Creek, to the point at which this divide touches the ledge of
cross-bedded sandstone; generally known as the Coconino sandstone;
thence southerly along said sandstone ledge to its junction with the
Gila and Salt River meridian; thence southerly along the Gila and Salt
River meridian to the northwest corner of what will probably be when
surveyed section 18, township 34 north, range 1 east; thence easterly
along projected section lines to the northeast corner of what will
probably be when surveyed section 14, township 34 north, range 2 east;
thence southerly along projected section line to the southeast corner of
said section 14; thence easterly along projected section lines, a
distance of approximately six miles to a point on the divide between
South Canyon and Thompson Canyon; thence southeasterly along said
divide, including the entire drainage area of Thompson Canyon and Neal
Spring Canyon, to the intersection with the upper rim of the Grand
Canyon; thence easterly along the main hydrographic divide north of
Nankoweap Creek and Little Nankoweap Canyon to its intersection with the
Colorado River, approximately at the mouth of Little Nankoweap Canyon;
thence due east across the Colorado River to the east bank of the
Colorado River; thence southeasterly along said bank, to the north bank
of Little Colorado River; thence easterly along said bank of Little
Colorado River to its intersection with what probably will be when
surveyed the east line of section 32, township 33 north, range 6 east,
or the east line of section 5, township 32 north, range 6 east; thence
southerly along projected section lines to the northeast corner of what
probably will be when surveyed section 8, township 30 north, range 6
east; thence westerly along projected section lines to the southwest
corner of what probably will be when surveyed section 6, township 30
north, range 5 east; thence southerly to the northeast corner of section
13, township 30 north, range 4 east; thence westerly to the northwest
corner of said section 13; thence southerly to the southwest corner of
said section 13; thence westerly along section lines to a point nine
hundred and fifty feet west of the northeast corner of section 22, said
township; thence due south a distance of one thousand three hundred and
twenty feet to a point on the south line of the north tier of forties of
said section 22; thence westerly to the west line of said section 22;
thence southerly along said west line, to the southwest corner of said
section 22; thence westerly along section lines to the southwest corner
of section 19, township 30 north, range 4 east; thence northerly to the
northwest corner of said section 19; thence westerly to the southwest
corner of section 14, township 30 north, range 3 east; thence northerly
to the northwest corner of said section 14; thence westerly on section
lines to the southwest corner of section 12, township 30 north, range 2
east; thence northerly along section lines to the north line of said
township 30 north, range 2 east, thence westerly along said north
township line to the place of beginning; and all of those lands lying
within the boundary line above described are included in and made a part
of the Grand Canyon National Park; and all of those lands excluded from
the present Grand Canyon National Park are included in and made a part
of the contiguous national forests, subject to all national forest laws
and regulations.
