of Congress, do hereby make known and proclaim that there is hereby
reserved from entry or settlement and set apart as a public reservation

situate in the State of Montana and within the boundaries particularly
described as follows, to wit:

range twenty-five (25) west, principal meridian, Montana; thence

between ranges tw
