<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN><SPAN>ElkSummerRange is an ESRI SDE Feature Class that shows elk summer range for the state of Colorado. This dataset represents that part of the overall range of elk where 90% of the individuals are located between spring green-up and the first heavy snowfall, or during a site specific period of summer as defined for each Data Analysis Unit. Summer range is not necessarily exclusive of winter range; in some areas winter range and summer range may overlap. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN><SPAN>This information was derived from field personnel. 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></SPAN></P><P><SPAN>These data are updated on a four year rotation with one of the four Colorado Parks and Wildlife Regions updated each year. The data are not updated on a statewide level annually. Last Regional Updates NE:2022, SE:2021, SW:2024, NW:2023. Calendar date refers to the most current date the data has been published.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>While a complete data review and the majority of data updates occur during these scheduled Regional Updates, changes to the data in any region may occur annually based on new information obtained through telemetry and field studies. It is recommended that these data be downloaded annually.</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> |
