The impacts have been evaluated for each of five wilderness management alternatives ranging from all wilderness to no wilderness ... The nine WSAs included in this environmental impact statement (EIS) are in the Gila and San Simon Resource Areas of the Safford District in Cochise, Gila, Graham and Greenlee Counties, Arizona and Hidalgo County, New Mexico.
