Oh, I agree 100% on that as well, they can only be taken VERY generally, and each dip and bend in the line doesn't mean they can't be far away from what is illustrated. As you said, it's just based on whatever data was available, or even just the particular data the author/illustrator chose to use at that time.

But for the sake of the snake in question on the original post, it was smack dab in the middle of pure Black Ratsnake territory.....and I certainly do agree with your point on range maps as a whole.
