  - (1) **Mt.** Harlan, California (Photorevised (1984)).
  - (2) **Paicines, California (Photorevised (1984)).**
- (c) **Boundaries.**
  - (1) The point of beginning is the unnamed 3,063′ peak on the county line between San Benito and Monterey Counties in Township 14 S., Range 5 E., [Section 34](/cfr/27/34.md) of the “Mt. Harlan,” California Quadrangle map.
  - (2) **From the point of beginning on the Mt.** Harlan Quadrangle map proceed in a generally northwesterly direction along the county line through Sections [34](/cfr/27/34.md) and [33](/cfr/27/33.md), briefly into [Section 28](/cfr/27/28.md) and back through [Section 33](/cfr/27/33.md), and then through Sections [32](/cfr/27/32.md), [29](/cfr/27/29.md), and [30](/cfr/27/30.md) all in Township 14 S., Range 5 E., to the point at which the county line intersects the line between Sections [30](/cfr/27/30.md) and [19](/cfr/27/19.md) of said Township and Range.
  - (3) Thence proceed in a straight line northeast approximately 750 feet to the commencement of the westernmost stream leading into Pescadero Creek. The stream commences in the southwest corner of [Section 19](/cfr/27/19.md) in Township 14 S., Range 5 E.
  - (4) Thence following the stream in a northeasterly direction to its intersection with the 1,800-foot contour line near the center of [Section 19](/cfr/27/19.md) in Township 14 S., Range 5 E.
