Shelton SL and Weckerly FW. 2007. Inconsistencies in historical geographic range maps: The gray wolf as an example. California Fish and Game. 93(4):224-227
This report compares four historical range maps that were developed independently of one another for the gray wolf (Canis lupus) found in North America. The final ranked map depicted the agreement and differences among the four maps in the historical distribution of C. lupus in the United States. Rankings were shown on the final map from 0-4. Areas with 0 indicated that all source maps showed the absence of the C. lupus; whereas, areas with 4 represent all source maps showed the historical presence of C. lupus.
