TORTOISE AND TURTLE RANGE MAPS

These range maps are intended to be general guidelines and are not hard-set boundaries. Additionally, appropriate habitat types and elevation should be considered when searching for these animals within the areas of the range maps. Species are frequently being found in new areas and out of range of what they were previously known to occur in. These maps will be updated with current ranges as the information becomes available. 

The green area of the map indicates known or likely ranges. The red area of the map indicates possible ranges.
