Title 16 › CHAPTER 1 — NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES › SUBCHAPTER XI — MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK › § 109
Moves a specific piece of land out of Rainier National Forest and adds it to Mount Rainier National Park in Washington. The area starts on the park’s east boundary one and one-quarter miles south of the park’s northeast corner (as fixed by section 107). From that point it goes east to the watershed divide between Silver Creek and the White River, follows the ridge of Crystal Mountain to the Cascade crest, then south along the Cascade crest 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 continues southwest along the divide toward the quarter‑section line of section 9, township 14 north, range 10 east, Willamette meridian, then west along that quarter‑section line across sections 9, 8, and 7 to the township’s west edge, due west to the west bank of Muddy Fork of the Cowlitz River, north along that bank to a point due east of survey post 34 on the park’s 1908 south boundary, west to post 34, along the 1908 park boundary to post 35, east along the 1908 south boundary to the park’s southeast corner, north along the 1908 east boundary to post 59, and then north along the east boundary as revised by section 107 back to the starting point.
