Sec. 355. Change of boundaries

    The boundary of the Denali National Park is changed so as to read as 
follows:
    Beginning at the summit of a hill between the Toklat River and the 
Clearwater Fork of that river at an approximate latitude of sixty-three 
degrees forty-seven minutes forty-five seconds, longitude one hundred 
and fifty degrees seventeen minutes forty seconds, which is intended to 
be same point of beginning of the boundary description as contained in 
section 347 of this title; thence southerly along the summit of the 
ridge between Toklat River and the Clearwater Fork of said river and 
across Stony Creek at its confluence with the said Clearwater Fork to 
the summit of the ridge between Stony Creek and the Clearwater Fork of 
the Toklat River, thence following the summit of said ridge and the 
summit of the ridge between the tributaries of said Clearwater Fork, the 
headwaters of the North Fork of Moose Creek and Boundary Creek to the 
intersection with the present boundary of Denali National Park at 
approximate latitude of sixty-three degrees thirty-two minutes forty-
five seconds, longitude one hundred and fifty degrees twenty-four 
minutes forty-five seconds; thence southwesterly fourteen and three-
tenths miles, more or less, to a point one-half mile north of Wonder 
Lake on the stream flowing out of Wonder Lake into Moose Creek; thence 
south sixty-eight degrees west forty-three and five-tenths miles, more 
or less, to the point of intersection with the southwest boundary 
extended; thence southeasterly thirty-three miles, more or less, to the 
summit of Mount Russell; thence in a northeasterly direction following 
the present south boundary approximately eighty-eight miles to Windy 
Creek at approximate latitude sixty-three degrees twenty-five minutes 
forty-five seconds, longitude one hundred and forty-nine degrees one 
minute thirty-five seconds; thence easterly following the north bank of 
Windy Creek to the western boundary of The Alaska Railroad right-of-way; 
thence northerly following the west boundary of The Alaska Railroad 
right-of-way to a point due east of the present north boundary of the 
park as extended due east; thence due west following the present north 
boundary of the park to the summit of the ridge between Toklat River and 
the Clearwater Fork of said river; thence southerly following the summit 
of said ridge to the place of beginning: Provided, however, That such 
isolated tracts of land lying east of The Alaska Railroad right-of-way 
and the west bank of the Nenana River between the north bank of Windy 
Creek and the north park boundary as extended eastward are also included 
in said park: Provided further, That nothing herein contained shall 
affect any valid existing claim, location, or entry under the land laws 
of the United States, whether for homestead, mineral, right-of-way, or 
any other purpose whatsoever, or shall affect the rights of any such 
claimant, locator, or entryman to the full use and enjoyment of his 
land.
