| help | reference: 6th edition book Quadrangles - Displayed in where_found. Caution: Listed quads reflect past knowledge, and do not necessarily imply that a species cannot be present elsewhere. Index by quads The Inventory currently does not offer quad-level location data for List 4 taxa. Because of this limitation, searches that specify quad will return taxa from List 1-3 only. Searches that specify county (i.e., "{zones}") will return taxa from all lists. Quad names refer to 7 1/2 minute USGS maps, with two exceptions: 1. Names that end in NE, NW, SE, and SW refer to quadrants of 15 minute maps that have no 7 1/2 minute equivalents. 2. Three-letter codes are used to refer to the offshore islands. Quad numbers reflect the codes used by the California Dept. of Water Resources to refer to USGS quads. |
