in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior can trade land with a private owner along U.S. Highway 211 near Shenandoah National Park. The Secretary takes in about 37.44 acres of that owner's land, defined by a detailed survey, and gives up about 38.58 acres of park land nearby, also defined by survey, so the values come out roughly equal.

The Secretary of the Interior may accept title to about 37.44 acres of land within the park's authorized boundaries. This land fronts on U.S. Highway 211. Its exact boundary is set by a survey running from park monument H–8, through monuments H–9 through H–13, crossing Pass Run, and ending at a marked white oak tree near the fire road atop Piney Mountain, then back to the starting point. In exchange, the Secretary may give up a roughly equal-value parcel of park land — about 38.58 acres. Its exact boundary is set by a separate survey, starting at park monument P–153 (a point in the center of Virginia Route 666), running through monuments P–152 down to P–147, then following the centerline of Route 666 through a long series of short courses, back to the starting point.
