Description: PreblesMouseOverallRange is an ESRI ArcSDE feature class showing the Overall Range for Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse (Zapus hudsonius preblei) in Colorado. Overall Range is defined as the area which encompasses the probable range of Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse along the Front Range of Colorado below 7600' elevation eastward to include those hydrounits identified by the Preble's Technical Working Group. Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse is primarily associated with riparian corridors of small intermittent and perennial streams where riparian herbaceous and riparian shrub (primarily willow) dominate.This information was derived from field personnel. A variety of data capture techniques were used including drawing on mylar overlays at 1:50,000 scale USGS county mapsheets and implementation of the SmartBoard Interactive Whiteboard using stand-up, real-time digitizing at various scales (Cowardin, M., M. Flenner. March 2003. Maximinzing Mapping Resources. GeoWorld 16(3):32-35).
