Distribution of Lynx rufus rufus __________________________ 165 INTRODUCTION In 1950, Marshall C, Gardner (1950a, 1950b) began the first com- prehensive listing of Maryland mammals, but he completed only the sections dealing with marsupials, insectivores, and ba&. This has been bhe only statewide study of Maryland mammals ever undertaken, al- though a number of sectional accounts have appeared, including those by Goldman and Jackson (1939), Bures (1948), Hampe (1939), and Bailey (1923). In addition, Mansueti (1950) treated in detail the extinct and vanishing species of hhe State. The present survey originated in the rnid-l950’s, but intensive work on it was not begun until 1962. During the course of the study, field work was conducted in all parts of the State except the Allegheny Mounrtain section. Specimens collected during this field work, and the large series of Maryland mammal specimens available in the national collections, form the basis for the present survey. In the “specimens examined” sections of the following accounts, the specimens are in the collections housed in the U.S. National Museum unless otherwise noted. Abbreviations used in the text for other institutions from which material has been examined are K.U. for Museum of Natural History, University of Kansas, U. Mich. for Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, and U. Md. for University of Maryland. All measurements given in the accounts are in millimeters. Several species are included in the,body of the text for which there are as yet no valid records for the State. These have been indicated by placing the common names in parentheses. They are included because of the virtual certainty that they are a part of Maryland’s mammal fauna. Of one of these species, a specimen was taken in West Virginia only a few feet from the Maryland state line; as for the others, Mary- land contains abundant suitable habitat and they are known to occur both north and south of the State. Distribution maps have been prepared for all land species except introduced forms and certain ones that have been restocked or are so widespread in distribution that they have been recorded from every county in the Skate. On the maps, crosshatched areas represent probable distribution, shaded symbols indicate specimens examined, unshaded symbols indicate published records or other reports that appear to be valid, and an unshaded symbol with a dot in the center indicates a type 1 2 NORTH AMERICAN FAUNA 66 locality. When more than one species or subspecies is represented on a single map, circles and triangles are used to distinguish them, and the crosshatchings representing their probable distributions run in dif- ferent directions. I want to express my thanks to Theodore A. Bookhout and Vagn Flyger of .the University of Maryland's Natural Resources Institute for contributing a number of Maryland mammal records. I also want to acknowledge my gratitude to the late Romeo Mansueti of the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory, Solomons, Md., for his encourage- ment and advice on a number of distributional problems. LOCATION AND AREA OF MARYLAND Maryland lies between the parallels of 35" 53' and 39" 44' n0rt.h latitude and the meridians 7S0 4' and 79" 29' west longitude. It is bounded on the north by the State of Pennsylvania and on the east by the State of Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean. The southern boundary of the State is the Potomac River which separates it from Virginia and West Virginia. West Virginia also borders Maryland on the west. The District of Columbia is a political entity on the Potomac, between Prince Georges and Montgomery counties, Maryland. It is not physio- graphically distinct from Maryland in any way, and herein is regarded as a part of Maryland. The Maryland Geological Survey lists the total area of the State as 12,300.21 square miles, of which 2,437 square miles are water. Thus the total land area of Maryland is 9,863.21 square miles, making the State the eighth smallest in the Union. The area of the District of Columbia is some 70 square miles, of which 8 are water. Maryland extends in a general ESE-WNW direction for about 320 miles ; the greatest north-south distance is approximately 150 miles. The State is actually a narrow cross section of the Coastal Plain, the Piedmont Plateau, and the Appalachian ridges. Elevations pass gradually from sea level to 3,342 feet on Backbone Mountain in Garrett County. Geologically, Maryland varies greatly. Formations range from the most ancient granite and gneiss, through rocks

Omnivore • Feeds on both plants and meat In nature, it is virtually impossible to apply hard and fast categories. There can be a large amount of overlap among species, and for individuals within species, in terms of daily and/or seasonal behavior habits. It is possible for the activity patterns of mammals to change due to variations in weather, food availability or human disturbances. The Raccoon designation of diurnal or nocturnal represent the description Gray or black in color with a pale most common activity patterns of each species. gray underneath. The black mask is rimmed on top and bottom with CARNIVORA white.

  • Nanjemoy and Mattawoman Creek Watersheds
    Defining the Indigenous Cultural Landscape for The Nanjemoy and Mattawoman Creek Watersheds Prepared By: Scott M. Strickland Virginia R. Busby Julia A. King With Contributions From: Francis Gray • Diana Harley • Mervin Savoy • Piscataway Conoy Tribe of Maryland Mark Tayac • Piscataway Indian Nation Joan Watson • Piscataway Conoy Confederacy and Subtribes Rico Newman • Barry Wilson • Choptico Band of Piscataway Indians Hope Butler • Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians Prepared For: The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Annapolis, Maryland St. Mary’s College of Maryland St. Mary’s City, Maryland November 2015 ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this project was to identify and represent the Indigenous Cultural Landscape for the Nanjemoy and Mattawoman creek watersheds on the north shore of the Potomac River in Charles and Prince George’s counties, Maryland. The project was undertaken as an initiative of the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay office, which supports and manages the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. One of the goals of the Captain John Smith Trail is to interpret Native life in the Middle Atlantic in the early years of colonization by Europeans. The Indigenous Cultural Landscape (ICL) concept, developed as an important tool for identifying Native landscapes, has been incorporated into the Smith Trail’s Comprehensive Management Plan in an effort to identify Native communities along the trail as they existed in the early17th century and as they exist today. Identifying ICLs along the Smith Trail serves land and cultural conservation, education, historic preservation, and economic development goals. Identifying ICLs empowers descendant indigenous communities to participate fully in achieving these goals.
