Polygon features depicting the Arizona NLCS Wilderness Areas. A Wilderness is a special place where the earth and its community of life are essentially undisturbed; they retain a primeval character, without permanent improvements and generally appear to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature. In 1964, Congress established the National Wilderness Preservation System and designated the first Wilderness Areas in passing the Wilderness Act. The uniquely American idea of wilderness has become an increasingly significant tool to ensure long-term protection of natural landscapes. Wilderness protects the habitat of numerous wildlife species and serves as a biodiversity bank for many species of plants and animals. Wilderness is also a source of clean water. |

Boundary line features depicting the Arizona BLM NLCS Wilderness Area Boundaries: Below is the updated list of Congressionally submitted and approved Arizona wilderness area boundaries as required by the legislation. All have been surveyed and/or have legal descriptions documented. The other wilderness area boundaries not included in this list, have not been submitted to Congress, and represent line work of the original mapping on 1:24,000 scale maps when the bills were originally submitted to Congress. We are continuing to work on the these other wilderness boundaries in the State. When their wilderness boundaries are finalized and approved by Congress, the new boundaries will be included in this data layer. Wilderness Area Serialized Case File Number
