We asked our GIS team to put together a map with some of the caribou range information in relation to the Refuge and Coastal Plain boundaries but when they contacted ADFG, ADFG was not sure where the source of the data came from for this map (?). We have some caribou herd data sets but they may be a little dated (definitely don't match this map). Would your departments have any recent data regarding the range of Porcupine and Central Herds that could be shared? Thanks!

We think the GIS folks within ADFG are pretty regionally based, so if they contacted someone in Anchorage, they may not be aware of where the data reside. John John M.

I am copying the CCP map below, from page 4-103. This would expand the communities to include Chalkyitsik, Circle, Wiseman/Coldfoot, with Ft. Yukon just outside the range, but recommended to be included. Griffiths et al. 2002 has a similar map, so I would imagine that Griffiths et al. 2002 is the source of these data, I will attempt to confirm. CCP Map: Griffiths et al. 2002map
