The Little Conemaugh River is hereby declared to be a public highway and watercourse within the City. The width thereof shall be 125 feet between the bottom of the banks from the point where the railroad bridge of the Cambria Iron Company crosses the stream east and above Walnut Street. The northerly line of such stream, between such bridge and the junction of such stream with the Stonycreek River is hereby defined as follows:
Beginning at the southwest corner of the right abutment of such bridge; thence down the stream, north eighty-four degrees and fifty-seven minutes west parallel with the stone wall on the left bank 340 feet to a point; thence, by a six degree curve to the right, with a radius of 955.4 feet, through an arc of eighty-seven degrees and fifty-two minutes, the arc length of which is 1,464.9 feet to a point; thence north two degrees and fifty-five minutes east 245 feet to the north end of the Kurtz stone wall and to the west side of Iron Street, as recently laid out, and where the west side of Iron Street corners; thence along the west side of Iron Street, as recently laid out, eighty-four feet to the upper end of the second pier westward from the east end of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's Stone Arch Bridge.
The southwesterly line of the stream shall be parallel with and 125 feet distant from the northerly line of the bridge to the confluence of the Little Conemaugh River with the Stonycreek River.
A map or plan of the Little Conemaugh River, from the bridge to its intersection with the Stonycreek River, as herein described, remains in the office of the City Engineer.
