The GIS files and their associated coordinates are not the legal source for determining the boundaries of species described within this dataset or for consultation purposes. Inherent in any data set used to develop graphical representations, are limitations of accuracy as determined by, among others, the source, scale and resolution of the data. While the Service makes every effort to represent the boundaries shown with this data as completely and accurately as possible (given existing time and resource constraints), the USFWS gives no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of these data. In addition, the USFWS shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein. Graphical representations provided by the use of this data do not represent a legal description of the boundary. These data are to be used only in the context of the definition and purpose of the dataset. This primarily relates to Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act. These data may be used for planning and land management purposes. They are not to be used for legal survey use.

The attributes listed are believed to be accurate to their application within the data, although no tests were performed.
This data is believed to be logically consistent though no tests were performed.
Contains the current range polygons as contained in the ECOS database; no generalization was performed and no data was intentionally omitted.

Complete current range
Polygons are created by field staff utilizing the ECOS system to select range per office. The office datasets are then dissolved into one species range file and simplified using the Douglas-Peucker algorithm with a 0.0001 tolerance.
