<DD>This layer was generated from a map depicting sharptail grouse distribution from the following source: Game Management in Montana.  Montana Fish and Game Department.  1971 - pp 130. <BR>This map was enlarged to an 11 x 17 inch page with a photocopier. The enlarged map was then registered on a digitizer using county boundaries to define tics (rms error was 0.015) and the sharptail grouse range was digitized as depicted on the map.</DD>
