Nationalatlas.gov? and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are pleased to
offer a map showing the National Wildlife Refuge System for the United
States of America. The system is a network of habitats that benefit
wildlife, provide unparalleled outdoor experiences for all Americans,
and
protect a healthy environment. Since President Theodore Roosevelt
designated Florida's Pelican Island as the first wildlife refuge in
1903,
these lands have grown to encompass more than 540 wildlife refuges, each
reflected on this map. Refuges are special places that the U.S. Fish
and
Wildlife Service and its partners restore, protect, and manage for
America's wildlife.
Today there is at least one wildlife refuge in each of the 50 States,
and
one within an hour's drive of every major U.S. city. They offer the
public opportunities for
Wildlife watching and photography: Nature trails and observation
decks provide some of the best viewing opportunities in the world.
Hunting and fishing: Hunters are welcome on more than 300
national
wildlife refuges and on 3,000 waterfowl production areas. More
than
260 refuges are available to the anglers.
Education and interpretation: Innovative programs are offered at
more than 230 national wildlife refuges around the country.
The National Wildlife Refuge System map measures 28- by 32-inches and is
available from a USGS Earth Science Information Center (ESIC). To locate
