§405 — Title 16 Conservation | U.S. Code

Summary

Several specific parcels of land in Coos County, Oregon (described by legal land-survey lines and once part of the Coos Bay military wagon road grant) are set aside as public parks and camp sites for recreation and to protect rare myrtle-tree groves. These lands remain subject to any valid existing rights and, for areas withdrawn for water power, to the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.). One parcel’s merchantable timber may be cut and removed because a sale was already made. The county court of Coos County must take care of and manage the lands under rules the Secretary of the Interior gives. The county must pay all costs for that care and management.
