There were three subsequent <br />Presidential proclamations in 1938, 1939 and 1960 affecting the <br />monument lands. Monument land adjustments were also made by <br />legislation in 1958. In 1976, Congress designated 11,180 acres <br />of the lower canyon within the monument as a wilderness area. <br />Legislation in 1984 set the present monument boundaries which <br />encompass 20,763 acres. <br /> <br />****** <br /> <br />~ <br />~v <br />~ <br />
