Note: This is the MapCruzin.com archive of the FWS Arctic National Wildlife Refuge website. In December, 2001 FWS took this website offline, making it unavailable to the public. It includes 90 plus pages of information and many maps. As of 2006 the important information contained in this, the original "unsanitized" version of the FWS website, has yet to return to the internet, so we will continue to maintain it here as a permanent archive to help inform activists and concerned citizens. If you find any broken links, please report them to me at mike@learn2map.com and I will attempt to make the repairs. January, 2008 update - A small part of the original information that was present in 2001 has made it back into the current ANWR website. There is also an archive that contains a small amount of the original information, but it is not readily available from the main website.

This map shows a high density calving area (dark green), and the extent of the calving area
(middle green). The areas are based on locations of pregnant radio-collared cows. Collared
cows were followed regularly during the calving season, and the first place a cow was seen with
a calf was recorded as the calving location.
A computer program was used to calculate an estimate of the 1999 calving grounds based on
these observed locations. This analysis created map contours of the calving locations. Calving
density was highest within the central 50% contour, and this area is mapped as the high density
calving area. The extent of calving is mapped along the 95% contour.
A similar technique was used each year from 1983 to 1998.
