These lands were part of the larger Truckee-Carson Project withdrawal 
established by Secretary's Order dated November 26, 1906, which 
withdrew all lands within one mile of the highwater mark of Walker Lake 
in Mineral County, Nevada. The subject land was omitted from the legal 
description in a Secretary's Order dated May 25, 1942, that revoked the

identified as public land inholdings surrounded by Reservation lands 
that may be administratively transferred to the Walker River Paiute

lands, as described below.
