the politics of the future allowed the west boundary of Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP) to be adjusted to match the topographic ideal of including only land that drains into the Canyon? (See comment on previous post.) What would happen to the excluded pieces?
THE GRAND CANYON'S WEST END AND ITS EXIT
Names Matter For The Canyon
In 1973, when we were building the legislation that became the Grand Canyon National Park Enlargement Act… No, wait.
Yes, that was the name at the start. However, the 1972-5 struggles over the original bill wrought change so significant that I think it important, in this 50th anniversary of its enactment, that we correct Public Law 93-620’s name. We cannot do it in law, but we can do it in use, and we should, to honor and adjust our view of what was in fact accomplished.
