These maps show the records of reviewed species since 2000.  Species preceded by an * are regular species reviewed only when clearly outside of normal time frames and expected locations so the dataset is limited. Until we can map all locations accurately, some markers are limited to a county.  There may be overlapping markers if there is more than one record for a location.
