*** Important ***

The maps on this page reflect the current distribution of species based upon data collected for the Atlas through 1998. Data from the Atlas should be carefully considered before it is used for environmental review purposes. The data collection phase ended on December 31, 1999. The most recent data are not reflected in these interim maps. These data will be made available after review and analysis. Some reports may be removed during the final quality review prior to publication of the Atlas. Each colored block represents one 1:24,000 scale or 7.5' topographic quadrangle. There are 979 atlas blocks (topographic quadrangles) in the state. These maps range in size from 8-13KB each.
