Summary
The Central Nevada Rural Cemeteries Act proposed transferring ownership of two historic burial sites from the federal government to local Nevada counties at no cost. Under this bill, the Kingston Cemetery would have been transferred from the U.S. Forest Service to Lander County, and the Maiden’s Grave Cemetery would have been transferred from the Bureau of Land Management to Eureka County.
For local residents, this legislation aimed to ensure permanent public access to these sites by granting the counties official easements for road maintenance and visitor entry. To protect the land's heritage, the bill required that the properties be used exclusively as cemeteries; if the land were ever used for other purposes, ownership would have reverted back to the federal government.
