(b) Force and effect: The Map and legal descriptions carry the same legal force as if written directly into this subchapter, though the Secretary may fix clerical and typographical errors in them.
(c) Public availability: Copies of the Map and descriptions must be available for public inspection at the Bureau of Land Management's Director's office, its Grand Junction District Office in Colorado, the appropriate Colorado office if that one isn't right, and the appropriate office in Utah.
(d) Map controlling: Except as limited by section 460mmm–4(l)(3), if the Map and the written descriptions disagree, the Map controls.
