CPW White-tailed Prairie Dog Shapefile Download

Updated December, 2025 WTPrairieDogOverallRange is an ESRI shapefile encompassing the observed range of a population of White-tailed Prairie Dog in Colorado. 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.

2025年12月更新的WTPrairieDogOverallRange为ESRI形状文件（ESRI shapefile），涵盖科罗拉多州白尾土拨鼠（White-tailed Prairie Dog）种群的观测分布范围。该数据集信息源自科罗拉多公园与野生动物局（Colorado Parks and Wildlife）的野外工作人员。数据通过智能交互白板（SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard）对不同比例尺的地形图与NAIP影像（NAIP imagery）进行数字化采集获取，相关参考文献为：Cowardin, M. 与 M. Flenner，2003年3月，《最大化制图资源》，《GeoWorld》第16卷第3期，第32-35页。该数据采用四年轮换更新机制，每年更新科罗拉多公园与野生动物局下辖的四个区域中的一个，并非每年开展全州范围的更新。
