IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
JUNE 4, 1997
Received; read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources
AN ACT
To provide for a boundary adjustment and land conveyance
involving the Raggeds Wilderness, White River National
Forest, Colorado, to correct the effects of earlier erro-
neous land surveys.

HR 1019 RFS
SECTION 1. BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT AND LAND CONVEY-
ANCE, RAGGEDS WILDERNESS, WHITE RIVER
NATIONAL FOREST, COLORADO.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:
(1) Certain landowners in Gunnison County,
Colorado, who own real property adjacent to the por-
tion of the Raggeds Wilderness in the White River
National Forest, Colorado, have occupied or im-
proved their property in good faith and in reliance
on erroneous surveys of their properties that the
landowners reasonably believed were accurate.
(2) In 1993, a Forest Service resurvey of the
Raggeds Wilderness established accurate boundaries
between the wilderness area and adjacent private
lands.
(3) The resurvey indicated that a small portion
of the Raggeds Wilderness is occupied by adjacent
landowners on the basis of the earlier erroneous land
surveys.
(b) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this section to
remove from the boundaries of the Raggeds Wilderness
certain real property so as to permit the Secretary of Agri-
culture to use the authority of Public Law 97–465 (com-
monly known as the Small Tracts Act; 16 U.S.C. 521c–
521i) to convey the property to the landowners who occu-
pied the property on the basis of erroneous land surveys.
HR 1019 RFS
(c) BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT.—The boundary of the
Raggeds Wilderness, Gunnison and White River National
Forests, Colorado, as designated by section 102(a)(16) of
Public Law 96–560 (16 U.S.C. 1132 note), is hereby
modified to exclude from the area encompassed by the wil-
derness a parcel of real property approximately 0.86-acres
in size situated in the SW1⁄4 of the NE1⁄4 of Section 28,
Township 11 South, Range 88 West of the 6th Principal
Meridian, as depicted on the map entitled ‘‘Encroachment-
Raggeds Wilderness’’, dated November 17, 1993. Such
map shall be on file and available for inspection in the
appropriate offices of the United States Forest Service,
Department of Agriculture.
(d) CONVEYANCE OF LAND REMOVED FROM WIL-
DERNESS AREA.—The Secretary of Agriculture shall use
the authority provided by Public Law 97–465 (commonly
known as the Small Tracts Act; 16 U.S.C. 521c–521i) to
convey all right, title, and interest of the United States
in and to the real property excluded from the boundaries
of the Raggeds Wilderness under subsection (c) to those
owners of real property in Gunnison County, Colorado,
whose real property adjoins the excluded lands and who

have occupied the excluded lands in good faith reliance
on an erroneous survey.
