  3.31  demonstrated by physical evidence, document recorded in the 
  3.32  office of the county recorder or other public official, aerial 
  3.33  survey, or other evidence similar to the above.  Cross-country 
  3.34  motorized use of land shall not cause that land to be considered 
  3.35  a corridor of disturbance.

  4.34  general fund.  By July 15 of each year the commissioner shall 
  4.35  transfer to the highway user tax distribution fund an amount

  5.1   subdivision 5, for the previous calendar year. 
  5.2      (e) For fiscal year 2001, 97 percent; for fiscal years 2002

  6.9   percent of the total payment to the county shall be deposited in 
  6.10  the county general revenue fund to be used to provide property 
  6.11  tax levy reduction.  The remainder shall be distributed by the 
  6.12  county in the following priority:  
  6.13     (a) 37.5 cents, as adjusted for inflation under section 
  6.14  477A.145, for each acre of county-administered other natural 
  6.15  resources land shall be deposited in a resource development fund

  6.17  development, forest management, game and fish habitat

  6.19  county-administered other natural resources land.  Any county 
  6.20  receiving less than $5,000 annually for the resource development 
  6.21  fund may elect to deposit that amount in the county general 
  6.22  revenue fund; 
  6.23     (b) From the funds remaining, within 30 days of receipt of

  6.32  shall be deposited in the county general revenue fund.  Payments 
  6.33  to counties and townships pursuant to this paragraph shall be 
  6.34  used to provide property tax levy reduction, except that of the 
  6.35  payments for natural resources lands not located in an organized 
  6.36  township, the county may allocate the amount determined to be 
  7.1   necessary for maintenance of roads in unorganized townships.  
  7.2   Provided that, if the total payment to the county pursuant to 
  7.3   section 477A.12 is not sufficient to fully fund the distribution 
  7.4   provided for in this clause, the amount available shall be 
  7.5   distributed to each township and the county general revenue fund 
  7.6   on a pro rata basis; and 
  7.7      (c) Any remaining funds shall be deposited in the county 
  7.8   general revenue fund.  Provided that, if the distribution to the 
  7.9   county general revenue fund exceeds $35,000, the excess shall be
