submitted 95 years ago by ch. 308 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 158 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law lets the Secretary of the Interior accept land donations, or trade federal public land in New Mexico, to protect Point Lookout Road near Mesa Verde National Park. Landowners must prove their title before any trade is completed.

To carry out this section and section 111a, the Secretary of the Interior may accept donations of land or rights-of-way, or acquire land along or near Point Lookout Road that the Secretary thinks is needed to protect the road. The Secretary can do this by trading equal-value federal public land within sections 29 and 32, township 36 north, range 14 west, New Mexico principal meridian — land not already claimed by anyone else. The Secretary decides how to determine the value of both the land offered and the federal land given in exchange. Before any exchange is final, the landowner offering land to the United States must give the Secretary satisfactory proof of their title to that land.
