<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>ElkMigrationCorridors is an ESRI SDE Feature Class depicting Migration Corridors for Elk in Colorado. Migration Corridors is defined as a specific geographic area that facilitates movement between seasonal ranges and receives higher use than the surrounding landscape, relative to herd or population use, and loss of which would disrupt migration. Starting in 2023 and moving forward, Brownian bridge model of movement data, where available, will be included in this layer. This represents a change in the methodology from how these data had previously been generated.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This information was derived from Brownian bridge model of movement data and field personnel review. A variety of data capture techniques were used including drawing on mylar overlays at 1:50,000 scale USGS county mapsheets and implementation of the SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard using stand-up, real-time digitizing at various scales (Cowardin, M., M. Flenner. March 2003. Maximizing Mapping Resources. GeoWorld 16(3):32-35).</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Updated from data provided by Michelle Cowardin on 10/24/2024</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This wildlife distribution map is a product and property of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, a division of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. Care should be taken in interpreting these data. Written documents may accompany this map and should be referenced. The information portrayed on these maps should not replace field studies necessary for more localized planning efforts. The data are gathered at a variety of scales; discrepancies may become apparent at larger scales. The areas portrayed here are graphic representations of phenomena that are difficult to reduce to two dimensions. Animal distributions are fluid; animal populations and their habitats are dynamic.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
