date of enactment of this Act.

tary shall file a map and a legal description of each wilderness area

Act, nothing in this Act or in the Wilderness Act shall be construed

TITLE II 
SEC. 201. The Congress finds that— 
(1) the Aravaipa Canyon, situated in the Galiuro Mountains 
in the Sonoran desert region of southern Arizona, is a primitive 
place of great natural beauty that, due to the rare presence of a 
perennial stream, supports an extraordinary abundance and 
diversity of native plant, fish, and wildlife, making it a resource 
of national significance; and 
(2) the Aravaipa Canyon should, together with certain adjoin-
ing public lands, be incorporated within the National Wilderness 
Preservation System in order to provide for the preservation and 
protection of this relatively undisturbed but fragile complex of 
desert, riparian and aquatic ecosystems, and the native plant, 
fish, and wildlife communities dependent on it, as well as to 
protect and preserve the area's great scenic, geologic, and his-
torical values, to a greater degree than would be possible in the 
absence of wilderness designation. 
SEC. 202. In furtherance of the purposes of the Wilderness Act of 
1964 (78 Stat. 890, 16 U.S.C. 1131 et seq.) and consistent with the

Act of 1976 (90 Stat. 2743; 43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), certain public

approximately six thousand six hundred and seventy acres, as gen-
erally depicted on a map entitled "Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness— 
Proposed' and dated May 1980, are hereby designated as the Ara-
