Excerpt from Timpanogos Cave National Monument, Statement for Management: August, 1986
There have been no significant boundary changes since establishment of the monument in 1922. However, a subsequent survey (1945) determined that the boundary as marked on the ground did not coincide with the diagram that formed part of the 1922 proclamation. Therefore, the description of the boundary was changed to conform with the physical boundary, by Presidential Proclamation 3458, dated March 27, 1962.
