Designating the Clark and Mark Twain National Forests as the Mark Twain National Forest
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Mark Twain National Forest and the Clark National Forest were established within the State of Missouri. Part of the Clark National Forest was later transferred to the Mark Twain National Forest; at the same time, part of the Mark Twain National Forest was transferred to the Clark National Forest.
