FOREST ROADS AND TRAILS 21 



NATIONAL MONUMENTS IN NATIONAL FORESTS 



When such wonders of historic significance as the cliff dwellings 

 or pueblo ruins or such unique topographic marvels as are found in 

 many parts of the West fall within the area of the National Forests, 

 the Forest Service is charged with their administration. They have 

 been designated National Monuments by Congress, and cooperation is 

 effected with the Bureau of American Ethnology of the Smithsonian 

 Institution in protecting them and studying them. 



The following National Monuments are to be found in the 

 National Forests : The Bandelier in the Santa Fe National Forest of 

 New Mexico ; the Devil Post Pile in the Sierra National Forest of 

 California; the Gila Cliff Dwellings in the Gila National Forest of 

 New Mexico ; the Jewel Cave in the Harney National Forest in South 

 Dakota ; the Old Kassaan in the Tongass National Forest of Alaska ; 

 the Mount Olympus in the Olympic National Forest in Washington ; 

 the Oregon Caves in the Siskiyou National Forest of Oregon; the 

 Tonto in the Tonto National Forest of Arizona ; Walnut Canyon in the 

 Coconino National Forest of Arizona and Wheeler in the Cochetopa 

 and Rio Grande National Forests in Colorado.

Annually apportionment is made to the states having National 

 Forests within their borders of a sum for the construction in coop- 

 eration with the local authorities of roads and trails within the forests. 

 This is known as the Section 8 fund and is expended under coop- 

 erative agreements with the states.
