This section ends the legal status of two stretches of the old Calumet River channel in Cook County, Illinois, as navigable water. The first stretch stops being navigable once a new channel is cut through the area shown on a specific 1884 map. The second stretch, in a different section, is abandoned as navigable water right away.

G. Ewing, United States attorney to the Attorney-General, respecting cession of right of way for improvement of said river under Act of Congress approved July fifth, eighteen hundred and eighty-four,” is hereby abandoned as navigable water from and after the time that a navigable channel shall be cut through said quarter section within the new channel lines of the river as shown on the said map.
