The Antiquities Act provided a great deal of latitude regarding the types of areas that might become "national monuments." The term itself did little to describe the diversity of areas set aside. [79] One facetious definition pointed out the "inconsistency" of national monuments:

154According to Kania's John Otto of Colorado National Monument, this canyon was also known as Chackleton Canyon. Kania's book features an early article in the Daily Sentinel which indicates that John Otto took people up to a point where they could view both Monument and Chackleton Canyons simultaneously. Former Chief Ranger Hank Schoch stated that only Devils Canyon (not part of Colorado National Monument) or possibly Lizard Canyon could be viewed simultaneously with Monument Canyon. Clearly Shackleton/Chackleton was renamed, but it is not known when this occurred or which of the canyons acquired a new name. See Kania, John Otto of Colorado National Monument, p. 6.
