Adds to Theodore Roosevelt National Park the land inside a boundary that begins at the southwest corner of section 17 in township 147 north, range 100 west. The boundary runs north along the west edges of several sections in township 147, continues into township 148, then moves through and around parts of section 29 and along the west edges of sections 28 and 21. It then follows north borders of sections in township 148 and into range 99 west, crosses and follows several section corners and lines to the east quarter corner of section 35 (T148N, R99W), goes west to and then follows the north bank of the Little Missouri River westward to section 4 (T147N, R99W), and returns by way of several section lines and the south borders of sections 14–17 back to the starting point. All land inside that described boundary is now part of the park and must follow park laws and rules. All of it lies west of the Fifth Principal Meridian.
