Walnut Canyon National Monument, Ariz.
Preamable.
WHEREAS, certain prehistoric ruins of ancient cliff dwellings
situated upon public lands of the United States, and located in what
is commonly known as Walnut Canyon, about eight miles southeast
of the city of Flagstaff, Arizona, are of great ethnologic, scientific,
and educational interest, and it appears that the public interests
would be promoted by reserving these relics of a vanished people,
with as much land as may be necessary for the proper protection
thereof, as a National Monument;
National Monument, Arizona.
Vol. 34, p. 225.
Now, therefore, I, WOODROW WILSON, President of the United
States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested by section
two of the Act of Congress approved June 8, 1906, entitled "An Act for the Preservation American Antiquities" do proclaim that there
are hereby reserved from appropriation and use of all kinds under
all of the public land laws, subject to all prior valid adverse claims,
and set aside as the Walnut Canyon National Monument, all those
certain tracts of land, in the State of Arizona, more particularly
described as follows, to-wit;
Description. The southwest quarter of section twenty-five, the south half of section twenty-six, the north half of section thirty-five, and the northwest quarter of section thirty-six, township twenty-one north, range eight east, Gila and Salt River Meridian, as shown upon the hereto attached and made a part of this proclamation.
Coconio National Forest.
Use maintained.
Vol. 36, p. 2708.
The reservation made by this proclamation is not intended to
prevent the use of the lands for forest purposes under the proclamation
establishing the Coconino Nation Forest, but the two reservations
shall both be effective on the land withdrawn, but the National
Monument hereby established shall be the dominant reservation,
and any use of the land which interferes with its reservation or protection as a National Monument is hereby forbidden.
Reserved from settlement, etc. Warning is hereby given to all unauthorized persons not to appropriate, injure, remove, or destroy, any feature of this National Monument, or to locate or settle on any of the lands reserved by this proclamation.
In WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington this thirtieth day of November in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and [SEAL.] fifteen, and the independence of the United States the one hundred and fortieth.
