The Sarnoff Mountains were on the January 2024 list of ten sites that should be considered for eventual protection as a national park of Westarctica. Further research and consideration resulted in the current borders being on the list of five recommended areas to protect made by [[Duke of the Bear Peninsula|Jordan Farmer]] to [[Grand Duke Travis]] in March of 2025. On 20 April 2025, Grand Duke Travis declared the Billboard and surrounding portions of the western Sarnoff Mountains a national monument under the oversight of the [[Westarctican Parks Service]]. | The Sarnoff Mountains were on the January 2024 list of ten sites that should be considered for eventual protection as a national park of Westarctica.

Boyd Glacier and the Billboard were proposed as a unified single national park by legislation introduced by Senator Hann Dougie on 1 June 2025 after working to finalize the language with the WPS. After clearing the Senate and receiving the approval of Prime Minister Cook, it was officially reorganized into Westarctica's first national park on 10 June 2025 by Grand Duke Travis. | |||
