Description:
Abstract:
This layer does not include overall distribution or winter range within Tribal lands/Indian Reservations or National Park Service lands. Overall distribution polygons represent general or year round habitat. Winter range polygons represent areas occupied by the species from November 15 to March 1. Not all polygons in this coverage represent overall distribution and/or winter range. The polygon attribute to select overall distribution and/or winter range areas for mountain goat is USE.
Purpose:
Display or analysis of mountain goat overall distribution and/or winder ranges.
