Figure 32: Lands of the Port Neuf Forest Reserve as proclaimed in 1907 as one of the “Midnight Reserves” of President Theodore Roosevelt and as the area looks today as part of the Westside Ranger District of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest. The area has remained remarkably the same as proclaimed, although with some loss of land mandated by Proclamation 1034 of May 16, 1910 on the periphery of the forest while the unit was a part of the Pocatello National Forest. POWELL NATIONAL FOREST, UTAH 1908-1944 The Powell National Forest was named in honor of Major John Wesley Powell, explorer of the American southwest and second Director of the U.S. Geological Survey (Van Cott, p. 303). The eastern portion of the Sevier National Forest was added in 1922. This was a significant change because the future Bryce Canyon National Park was established from this portion of the former Sevier National Forest and consequentially accounts for many of the boundary changes experienced by the Powell National Forest between 1922 and 1945. -

These archival hold ings, now amounting to about 900,000 cubic feet, date from the days of the Continental Congresses; they include the basic records of the three branches of our Government- Congress, the courts, and the executive departments and independent agencies. The Presidential Libraries.. - Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower--contain the papers of those Presidents and many of their associates in office. Among our holdings are many hallowed documents relating to great events of our Nation's history, preserved and ven erated as symbols to stimulate a worthy patriotism in all of us. But most of the records are l~ss dramatic, kept because of their continuing practical utility for the ordinary proc esses of government, for the protection of private rights, and for the research use of students and scholars. To facilitatethe use of the records and to describetheir nature and content, our archivists prepare various kinds of finding aids. The present work is one suchpublication. We believe that it will prove valuable to anyone who wishes to use the records it describes. LAWSON B. KNOTT, JR. Administrator of General Services iii PREFACE The first step in the records-description program of the National Archives is the compilation of preliminary invento ries of the material in some 380 record groups to which the holdings of the National Archives are allocated. -
