New York State Bureau of Wildlife Herpetological Atlas Data Cards

Geographical by county and thereunder by municipality.

The Amphibian and Reptile Atlas Project (also known as the Herpetological Atlas Project) was a ten-year survey which took place between 1990 and 1999. This project was initiated with the goal of surveying and documenting the distribution of herpetofauna (amphibians and reptiles) in New York State. Staff members of the Department of Environmental Conservation's Bureau of Wildlife served as project administrators. Survey data, collected primarily by volunteers, was compiled by project staff into a database and used to create maps of species population distributions.

This series consists of approximately 25,000 data cards which were used by volunteers for the Herpetological Atlas Project to record observations of herpetofauna (amphibians and reptiles). Information recorded on each card includes the names of species observed, the date and location of observation, and the contact information of the volunteer who submitted the card.
