Web Site Buttons

Zoom in to see the roads that have had flora sightings. Click on the button, then click and hold the mouse button at a starting point on the map and drag the mouse to draw a box around the sightings you want to view. When you release the mouse button, the map zooms to the area you selected.

You can also select the button and just click on the map. The map will zoom in closer for each mouse click. You may have to click several times before you see all roads and other map details.

You’ll see all state-maintained roads and their signs when you zoom in to a scale of about 17 miles on the map. The scale is shown at the bottom of the map on the right.

Click on the button to get details about a single sighting. Once you click the button, click on the point or line representing the sighting. A box will pop up with details about the sighting.

Click on the button, then click and hold the mouse button at a starting point on the map and drag the mouse to draw a box around several sightings to get details about many sightings in one area.

Click the button to search for sightings by road, flora type or both. In the Condition Filter window, choose the road type from the “Official name” drop-down list and enter the road number. (Choose only the road type if you want to see all conditions for, say, Interstate Highways.) You may also choose a type of flora from the “Filtered by” drop-down list, either alone or in addition to the road type and number. Click the Submit button to see the results.
