§410zz–2 Expansion of Boundaries

Summary

The park’s borders are changed to add about 3,460 acres shown on the map called “Saguaro National Monument Additions” dated April, 1994, and to add about 1,152 acres shown on the map “Saguaro National Park Proposed Boundary Adjustment,” number 151/80,045G, dated December 2020. The December 2020 map is kept on file and can be seen in National Park Service offices. Inside those added areas, the Secretary (head of the National Park Service) may get land by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated money, transfer, or exchange. The Secretary cannot take private land without the owner’s OK unless the land is being developed, or planned to be developed, in a way that would harm the park. With Arizona’s consent and under law, the Secretary may acquire State-owned land, or if that fails may agree to manage State land inside the park boundary. Except for valid existing rights, federal lands inside the park are removed from public land claims, mining claims, and mineral or geothermal leasing and sales.
