The study was developed to provide Pinal County, State and local decision makers and the people of Arizona with definitive data to aid in land use planning of the lands that lie at the base of the Superstition Wilderness. The inventory and analysis is based on quantitative, physical data, with some qualitative elements based on interdisciplinary consensus. The report presents a balance based on this analysis to help make rational decisions as to which lands may be appropriate for development, and which should be conserved as open space for future generations.
