What the document says
“The term ``County'' means La Paz County, Arizona.”
The first of the section's three definitions. Wherever the Act says County, it means this one county.
What the document actually says
“The term ``County'' means La Paz County, Arizona.”
That sentence, in plain words
When this law says County, it means one place. That place is La Paz County in Arizona.
What this is about
A county is a part of a state. This one is the place that gets the land.

What the document says
“The term ``Federal land'' means the approximately 3,400 acres of land managed by the Bureau of Land Management and designated as ``Federal Land to be Conveyed'' on the map.”
The second of the section's three definitions, and the one that fixes what land the Act moves. It gives the acreage as an approximation, names the Bureau of Land Management as the agency that manages the land now, and points to the map for the boundary rather than describing it in words.
What the document actually says
“The term ``Federal land'' means the approximately 3,400 acres of land managed by the Bureau of Land Management and designated as ``Federal Land to be Conveyed'' on the map.”
That sentence, in plain words
Federal land here means about 3,400 acres. The BLM looks after it now. A map marks it as land to be handed over.
What this is about
The BLM is the Bureau of Land Management. It is a federal agency. The map is named in the next part.

What the document says
“The term ``map'' means the map prepared by the Bureau of Land Management entitled ``BLM Arizona--La Paz County Land Conveyance Map'' and dated June 29, 2023.”
The third of the section's three definitions. It names one map by title and date, so that the land defined by reference to the map is fixed to that one drawing. The map was prepared by the Bureau of Land Management.
What the document actually says
“The term ``map'' means the map prepared by the Bureau of Land Management entitled ``BLM Arizona--La Paz County Land Conveyance Map'' and dated June 29, 2023.”
That sentence, in plain words
The map is one drawing made by the BLM. It has a title and a date. The date is June 29, 2023.
What this is about
Naming one map keeps the land fixed. A later map cannot change what is handed over.

Each of the three terms the section defines, one entry apiece.
Nothing in the section is left out.
A definitions section states meanings and requires nothing of anybody. Section 3 uses the word Secretary, which this section does not define. The acreage is the section's own estimate, given as approximately 3,400 acres, and the boundary it fixes is the map's rather than a description in words. The map is not reproduced here, so what land it marks can be seen only at the offices where section 3 requires it to be kept.
