Metadata (Data about data or how the map was made)

Found in scattered sagebrush, generally less than three feet tall, and sparsely grassed, on dry loose soil between 900 and 3600 feet elevation. Not found in moist grassland or dense grass, or in the lower, drier and hotter areas of the Basin.

Core zones for habitat included steppe zones except the Canyon Grasslands, the Palouse, and the Grande Ronde Valley. Good habitats were grassland and shrub savanna.
