Willamette Meridian

All lands within the Rainier National Forest lying north and east of a line beginning on the east line of sec. 12, T. 17 N., R. 15 E., where the hydrographic divide between the Naches River drainage on the southwest and the Yakima River drainage on the northeast intersects said section line; thence in a northwesterly direction following the said hydrographic divide to the point where it intersects the present boundary of the Wenatchee National Forest.

The transfer effected by this order and the new boundaries of the Wenatchee National Forest are more clearly shown on the diagram attached hereto and made a part hereof.

It is not intended by this order to give any lands a national-forest status which have not heretofore had such status, nor to remove any lands from a national-forest status.
