CPW Moose Shapefile Download

Updated December, 2025 CONCENTRATION AREA: That part of the range of a species where densities are 200% higher than the surrounding area during a specific season. OVERALL RANGE: The area which encompasses all known seasonal activity areas within the observed range of a population of moose. SUMMER RANGE: That part of the overall range where 90% of the individuals are located during the summer months. This summer time frame will be delineated with specific start/end dates for each moose population within the state (ex: May 1 to Sept 15). Summer range is not necessarily exclusive of winter range. WINTER RANGE: That part of the overall range where 90 percent of the individuals are located during the winter months. This winter time frame will be delineated with specific start/end dates for each moose population within the state (ex: November 15 to April 1). 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.
