the drainage of Pebble Creek to its intersection with the present
east boundary line of Yellowstone National Park, at a point near
park boundary monument 54 north; thence southerly along said
boundary line to its intersection with the hydrographic divide
between Soda Butte and Cache Creeks, at a point near park boundary
monument 51 north; thence easterly along said hydrographic divide
to its intersection with the crest of the Absaroka Range; thence
southerly along said crest to its intersection with the main
hydrographic divide between Little Lamar River and the North Fork
of Shoshone River, passing over Republic and Hoodoo Peaks; thence
westerly along said divide passing over Notch Mountain to its
intersection with the present east boundary line of Yellowstone
National Park, at a point near park boundary monument 26 north;
thence continuing westerly along said divide, now between the
headwaters of Lamar River and Jones Creek; headwaters of Sedge,
Bear, Cub, and Clear Creeks, and the headwaters of Jones and Crow
Creeks, and between Crow Creek and Middle Creek, to its
intersection with the present east boundary line of Yellowstone
National Park, approximately at park boundary monument 18 north,
passing over Pyramid and Cathedral Peaks, Mount Chittenden, and
Avalanche Peak, thence southerly along said boundary line to its
intersection with the hydrographic divide immediately south of
Middle Creek, approximately at park boundary monument 15 north;
thence westerly along said divide, now between a southern tributary
of Middle Creek, headwaters of Beaverdam, Trappers, and Mountain
Creeks, and the headwaters of Canfield and Eagle Creeks, to its
intersection with the present east boundary line of Yellowstone
National Park, at a point near park boundary monument 5 north,
passing over Reservation and Atkins Peaks, Mount Schurz, Mount
Humphreys, and Eagle Peak; and
Beginning on the present west boundary line of Yellowstone
National Park at its intersection with the left bank of Gallatin
River between park monuments 45 and 46 north; thence northwesterly
along said bank to a point opposite the hydrographic divide between
Daly and Tepee Creeks; thence northeasterly across the Gallatin
River and along said divide, around the headwaters of Daly, Black
Butte, Specimen, and Fan Creeks, to the intersection of said divide
with the present north boundary line of Yellowstone National Park,
at a point near park boundary monument 11 west.
All of those lands lying within the boundary lines above
described and the present north, east, and west boundary lines are
included in and made a part of the Yellowstone National Park; and
all of those lands of the present Yellowstone National Park
excluded from the park are included in and made a part of the
contiguous national forests subject to all laws and regulations
applicable to national forests, and upon acceptance thereof by
appropriate action of the State, jurisdiction for all purposes
whatsoever shall be, and is, ceded over the land excluded from the
park to the State of Wyoming.
