Title 16 › CHAPTER 1 — NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES › SUBCHAPTER XI — MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK › § 107
Mount Rainier National Park’s boundary is changed to a new line based on the General Land Office survey plat dated April 17, 1909. The new boundary starts at park monument number 1 (on the east line of section 4, township 17 north, range 7 east, Willamette meridian), goes south along the park’s west line (the mid‑township line of range 7 east) to the south bank of the Nisqually River, follows that bank east to a point east of monument 28 (the township line between townships 14 and 15 north), goes to the southeast corner, then north along the east line to monument 59 (mid‑township line of range 10 east), due north to White River, northeasterly along White River to a point east of monument 67, west to monument 67, west along the north park line (township line between townships 17 and 18 north) to Carbon River, along Carbon River to a point north of monument 1, and then south back to the start. All lands inside that new line are part of Mount Rainier National Park. Any lands taken out of the park by this change are added to Rainier National Forest and are subject to national forest laws and rules.
