BLM REA COP 2010 Potential Current Distribution of Flannelmouth Sucker

This dataset provides an estimate of flannelmouth sucker current distribution based on streams and rivers from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and observation points for flannelmouth sucker. Reservoirs were specifically excluded from the distribution. Caution should be exercised interpreting this dataset, as it is based on sparse available information and extrapolation of distribution based on linework in NHD. Linework was limited based on a distribution boundary digitized from the outer boundary of observation points; this may incorrectly truncate the complete distribution of this species. Furthermore, segments were included from NHD with stream / river names that matched those near observation points; this may cause extrapolation up and downstream from observation points to include reaches where this species is not found.
