§283 Establishment; Purposes; Boundaries

Summary

The Secretary of the Interior must create Guadalupe Mountains National Park to keep its special geology, scenery, and natural values in public ownership. The park will include the land shown on the map titled “Proposed Guadalupe Mountains National Park, Texas,” number SA–GM–7100C, dated February 1965, which is on file at the National Park Service, Department of the Interior. Sections 7 and 17, P.S.L. Block 121, in Hudspeth County will be left out if the owner, on behalf of himself, his heirs and assigns, agrees not to build any structure there that, in the Secretary’s judgment, would harm public use and enjoyment. The park boundary is also changed to add approximately 10,123 acres shown on the map “Boundary Proposal,” dated August 1986. That map is on file and open to the public in the office of the Director of the National Park Service and in the office of the Superintendent of Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
