16 U.S.C. § 80a–3 — Lands excluded from Sierra National Forest and Sequoia National Forest and added to Kings Canyon National Park

This section redraws the boundary between two national forests and Kings Canyon National Park, moving certain land out of the forests and into the park. The first piece of land is in Tehipite Valley, inside the Sierra National Forest. It covers all land in that valley lying north of a specific line. The line starts at a point on the park's existing western boundary — on the ridge that forms the hydrographic divide southwest of the "Gorge of Despair," in section 13, township 12 south, range 29 east, Mount Diablo base and meridian. That ridge is called "Silver Spur." The boundary follows the crest of Silver Spur west to where it meets the west edge of section 14, in the same township and range. From there, it runs northwest in a straight line, crossing the middle fork of the Kings River, until it reaches the point where a stream or intermittent stream meets the 4,400-foot elevation line north of "Tombstone Ridge," in section 15 of the same township and range — a point that is also on the park's existing western boundary. The second piece of land is in the Cedar Grove area, inside the Sequoia National Forest. It covers all land there lying east of the west section lines of sections 11 and 14, township 13 south, range 30 east, Mount Diablo base and meridian. Both pieces of land are removed from their national forests and added to Kings Canyon National Park. Once transferred, they become subject to all the laws and regulations that apply to the park.
