CPW Sagebrush Vole Shapefile Download

Updated December, 2025 SagebrushVoleOverallRange is an ESRI shapefile encompassing the observed and predicted range of a population of Sagebrush Vole in Colorado. Sagebrush Vole is primarily associated with sagebrush habitats, especially where big sagebrush co-dominates with native bunchgrasses. Most experts consider the sagebrush vole a sagebrush obligate. 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.
