Title 16 › Chapter 1— NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES › Subchapter XI— MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK › § 109
A tract of land is removed from the Rainier National Forest and added to Mount Rainier National Park in Washington. The new park boundary starts at a point on the park’s east boundary 1¼ miles south of the park’s northeast corner (as fixed by section 107). From there it runs east to the high ridge between Silver Creek and the White River, then along the top of Crystal Mountain to the Cascade crest, then south on the Cascade crest to a point in section 20, township 15 north, range 11 east, Willamette meridian (where Bumping River flows east and Carlton and Cougar Creeks flow south and west). It then follows the divide between Carlton Creek and the main fork of the Ohanapecosh River to the quarter‑section line of section 9, township 14 north, range 10 east, runs west along that quarter‑section line across sections 9, 8, and 7 to the township’s west edge, goes 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 surveyed park boundary to post 35, east along that south boundary to the park’s southeast corner, north on the park’s east boundary to post 59, and then along the east boundary as revised by section 107 back to the starting point.
