Description:
Historic range of the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in Montana (USA). The data were initially researched and compiled by Dr. Michael A. Schroeder, research biologist for the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. The initial draft of current and historic range data was mapped and submitted to state, federal, and provincial natural resource agencies and other experts for review, comment, and editing. The final product represents the historic range/distribution in Montana based on review and incorporation of additional historic information by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks wildlife biologists and managers. Definition of "Historic Range" - The historic distribution represents the bird's maximum distribution from the early 1800's to the 1970s.
