Section 5-1203
Annotated Code of Maryland
(1974 Volume and 1979 Supplement)
SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That section(s) of the Annotated Code of Maryland
be repealed, amended, or enacted to read as follows:
Article - Natural Resources
5-1203.
(a) In order to assure that an increasing population,
accompanied by expanding settlement and growing
mechanization, does not occupy and modify all areas within
the State, leaving no lands designated for preservation and
protection in their natural condition, it is the policy of
the General Assembly to secure for the people of present and
future generations the benefits of an enduring resource of
State wildlands. For this purpose there is established a
State wildlands preservation system composed of areas in the
State designated by the General Assembly as "wildland
areas". The wildland areas shall be administered for the use
and enjoyment of the people of Maryland in a manner that
will leave them unimpaired for the future use and enjoyment
as wildlands, to provide for their protection, preservation
of their wildland character, and for gathering and
dissemination of information regarding their use and
enjoyment as wildlands. A State land may not be designated
as "wildland areas" except as provided for in this section
or by a subsequent act.
(b) Pursuant to the provisions of subsection (a) of
this section that property in Garrett County containing
approximately [2,000] 2691 acres and described as follows is
a Type 1 State wildland and shall be named the "Big Savage
Mountain Wildland":
Beginning at the White Water primitive camping area and
proceeding counterclockwise (S75°E) approximately 4,000
feet, then (N40°W) approximately 3,500 feet to a point 200
feet south of Big Savage Mountain Hiking Trail, then in a
northeasterly direction along the eastern slopes of Big
Savage Mountain 200 feet south of and parallel to the Big
Savage Mountain Hiking Trail until it intersects with High
Rock Tower Road, then west along the High Rock Tower Road to
a line 50 feet from High Rock Firetower, then circling the
tower counterclockwise to the south no closer than 50 feet
to the tower to a point due west of the tower, then
