§91 Establishment; Boundaries; Trespassers

Summary

Creates Mount Rainier National Park by setting aside certain land in Washington. The park is bounded using township and range lines: it starts at a point 3 miles east of the northeast corner of Township 17 North, Range 6 East of the Willamette meridian, runs south about 18 miles through Townships 17–15, then east about 18 miles along the line between Townships 14 and 15 to a point 3 miles west of Range 10, then north about 18 miles to a point 3 miles west of Township 17 North, Range 10 East, and then west back to the start. Where the Cascade Mountains’ summit is sharply defined and lies west of the easterly boundary, the boundary follows that summit. That land is dedicated as a public park called Mount Rainier National Park for people’s benefit and enjoyment. Anyone who lives on or occupies the land without permission is a trespasser and may be removed, except as later allowed.
