Land bought under a related law becomes the San Juan Island National Historical Park. It honors the peaceful settlement of the Oregon boundary dispute between the U.S. and Canada. The Secretary of the Interior manages the park under two older park laws.

Property acquired under section 282 of this title becomes known as the "San Juan Island National Historical Park." The park exists to commemorate two things: the final settlement, through arbitration, of the Oregon boundary dispute, and the peaceful relationship between the United States and Canada ever since. The Secretary of the Interior must administer, protect, and develop the park, following the rules set out in two earlier laws — the Act of August 25, 1916, and the Act of August 21, 1935 — as those laws have since been amended and added to.
