16 U.S.C. § 192b–1Exchange of lands

submitted 81 years ago by ch. 296 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 315 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior may accept land near the park from a private owner. In exchange, the government issues a patent for about 3.5 acres nearby. The land the government keeps becomes part of Rocky Mountain National Park.

If the title evidence is satisfactory, the Secretary of the Interior may accept, on behalf of the United States, a specific piece of land. William W. Kiskadden conveyed this land by a warranty deed from Mrs. Arah Chapman, recorded in 1916 in Larimer County, Colorado. The land is described by an exact boundary survey and covers about 3.58 acres, near section 31, township 5 north, range 73 west. In exchange, the Secretary will issue a patent — a formal deed — for a different, nearby piece of land, also described by an exact boundary survey, covering about 3.5 acres. The land the government receives (other than the part it patents back) becomes part of Rocky Mountain National Park once the United States accepts title to it, and it then follows all the park's laws and regulations.
