Your range mapping for Agkistrodon piscivorus is severely inaccurate. This range map is much closer to actual: https://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/FactSheet.aspx?speciesID=1197
Hi Chris! Kirstynn here from the Untamed Science team.
Thanks! It looks like that range map needs an update for sure. This was posted over 10 years ago so there is surely better information now. I will see if we can update it soon, for now thanks for the link to help others with this better range map from USGS
