Section 460. Natchez Trace Parkway
All lands and easements heretofore and hereafter conveyed to the
United States by the States of Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee
for the right-of-way for the projected parkway between Natchez,
Mississippi, and Nashville, Tennessee, together with sites acquired
or to be acquired for recreational areas in connection therewith,
and a right-of-way for said parkway of a width sufficient to
include the highway and all bridges, ditches, cuts, and fills
appurtenant thereto, but not exceeding a maximum of two hundred
feet through Government-owned lands (except that where small
parcels of Government-owned lands would otherwise be isolated, or
where topographic conditions or scenic requirements are such that
bridges, ditches, cuts, fills, parking overlooks, and landscape
development could not reasonably be confined to a width of two
hundred feet, the said maximum may be increased to such width as
may be necessary, with the written approval of the department or
agency having jurisdiction over such lands) as designated on maps
heretofore or hereafter approved by the Secretary of the Interior,
shall be known as the Natchez Trace Parkway and shall be
administered and maintained by the Secretary of the Interior
through the National Park Service, subject to the provisions of
sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 of this title, the provisions of which
sections, as amended and supplemented, are extended over and made
applicable to said parkway: Provided, That the Secretary of
Agriculture is authorized, with the concurrence of the Secretary of
the Interior, to connect with said parkway such roads and trails as
may be necessary for the protection, administration, or utilization
of adjacent and nearby national forests and the resources thereof:
And provided further, That the Forest Service and the National Park
Service shall, insofar as practicable, coordinate and correlate
such recreational developments as each may plan, construct, or
permit to be constructed, on lands within their respective
jurisdictions, which, by mutual agreement, should be given special
treatment for recreational purposes.
