Mount Graham National Forest

Mount Graham National Forest was established as the Mount Graham Forest Reserve in Arizona by the General Land Office on July 22, 1902, with 118,600 acres (480 km2). After the transfer of federal forests to the U.S. Forest Service in 1905, it became a national forest on March 4, 1907. On July 1, 1908, part of Mount Graham was combined with Crook National Forest and the remainder was returned to the public domain. The name was discontinued. [1]
