CPW White-tailed Jackrabbit Shapefile Download

Updated December, 2025 WhiteTailedJackrabbitOverallRange is an ESRI shapefile showing the Overall Range for White-tailed Jackrabbit (Lepus townsendii) in Colorado. Overall Range is defined as the area which encompasses the probable range of White-tailed Jackrabbit in Colorado. White-tailed Jackrabbit is primarily associated with grasslands, green pastures, and forests at high altitudes. This information was derived from Colorado Parks and Wildlife field personnel. Data was captured by digitizing through a SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard using topographic maps and NAIP imagery at various scales (Cowardin, M., M. Flenner. March 2003. Maximizing Mapping Resources. GeoWorld 16(3):32-35). These data are updated on a four year rotation with one of the four Colorado Parks and Wildlife Regions updated each year. These data are not updated on a statewide level annually.
