On October 31, 1994, the Secretary must transfer about 20,500 acres of Bureau of Land Management land in the California Desert Conservation Area to the State of California to become part of the State Park System. The land is shown on two May 1991 maps titled “Red Rock Canyon State Park Additions 1” and “Red Rock Canyon State Park Additions 2.” If California stops managing the land as part of the State Park System, ownership goes back to the Department of the Interior to be managed in the California Desert Conservation Area to protect its scenic and scientific values.
