National monuments within national forests 



By act of June 8, 1906, Congress provided for the 

 protection of cliff dwellings, pueblo ruins, ancient 

 rock paintings, unique topographic or geologic fea- 

 tures, historic landmarks, groves of rare trees in dan- 

 ffer of destruction, and other objects of historic and 

 scientific interest on lands controlled by the Govern-

 proclamation, national monuments for their preserva-

 such objects. The following national monuments are
