The department may acquire, by purchase or by the right of eminent domain, a free and unobstructed view down and across such lands located at or near the intersection of any two highways, or a highway and a railroad or railway, or at any curve in any highway, as may be necessary to assure a free and unobstructed view in all directions at such crossings, and to so prevent the use of such lands for any purpose or in any manner which may interfere with or obstruct the vision of any person or persons traveling upon any such highway.

Upon any such condemnation, the secretary shall file with the recorder of deeds of the proper county a plan showing the property condemned and such other detailed information as may be deemed necessary. Said plan shall be recorded at the expense of the county. After the same is recorded, the secretary may, from time to time, abate or remove, or cause to be abated or removed, any obstruction to such view over and across such lands.
