Title 16 › Chapter CHAPTER 1— - NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES › Subchapter SUBCHAPTER XI— - MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK › § 109
A specific piece of land is removed from Rainier National Forest and added to Mount Rainier National Park in Washington. The boundary starts at a point on the park’s east edge one and one‑quarter miles south of the park’s northeast corner as set by section 107. From there it goes east to the ridge between Silver Creek and White River, follows the tops of Crystal Mountain and the Cascade ridge south to a point in section 20, township 15 north, range 11 east, Willamette meridian (where Bumping River drains east and Carlton and Cougar Creeks drain south and west). It then goes southwest along a drainage divide toward section 9, township 14 north, range 10 east, west along quarter‑section lines across sections 9–7 to the township’s west edge, due west to the west bank of Muddy Fork of the Cowlitz River, north to a point due east of post number 34 from the 1908 survey, west to post 34, along the 1908 park boundary past post 35 to the southeast corner, north to post 59, and then north along the park’s revised east boundary under section 107 back to the starting point.
