This five acre parcel, known as the Pelican Extension, is located in the center of the original townsite of Holy Cross City. The 1880's historic townsite was cherry-stemmed into the Holy Cross Wilderness Area because it contained a number of parcels of private land. The townsite is managed as de facto wilderness.
