important aquatic, wildlife, vegetative, archaeological, 
paleontological, scientific, cave, cultural, historical, recreational, 
educational, scenic, rangeland, and riparian resources and values of the

    The Conservation Area shall consist of approximately 42,000 acres of 
public lands in the Arizona counties of Pima and Santa Cruz, as 
generally depicted on the map entitled ``Sonoita Valley Acquisition 
Planning District and Las Cienegas National Conservation Area'' and 
dated October 2, 2000.

(c) Maps and legal description

    As soon as practicable after December 6, 2000, the Secretary shall 
submit to Congress a map and legal description of the Conservation Area. 
In case of a conflict between the map referred to in subsection (b) of 
this section and the map and legal description submitted by the 
Secretary, the map referred to in subsection (b) of this section shall 
control. The map and legal description shall have the same force and
