16 U.S.C. § 460 : US Code – Section 460: Natchez Trace Parkway
This description of the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, the Arapaho National Recreation Area and the Oregon Islands Wilderness tracks the language of the U.S. Code, except that, sometimes, we use plain English and that we may refer to the “Act” (meaning Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, the Arapaho National Recreation Area and the Oregon Islands Wilderness) rather than to the “subchapter” or the “title” of the United States Code.
