AMERICAN CRAYFISH ATLAS

Welcome to the distributional atlas of U.S. crayfish

Nature

HOW IT WORKS

Crayfish locations have been sourced from peer-reviewed literature and online databases to provide high quality distributional information. Crayfish locations are mapped across the United States. This map can be used to explore and compare individual species distributions state-wide or nationally. 'Species by State' provides the species names and number of locations within each state.

Please note, some species records may disappear as the map is zoomed in. This is deliberate to protect locality information of critically endangered species and data from private sources.
To find more information about a specific location data point, please refer to the contact details provided for the source.
