Twin Buttes RV (park)

Also called Utah yucca.

Not much range of it in Utah (and it looks like I am at the very edge of it's range):

Regardless of the published range we see lots of these in the Arizona Strip (Mojave County), northern Clark County and Lincoln County, NV. In fact, we have neighbors who have them in their yards. Next time I’m out in the desert I’ll try to get a photo.

Yeah, some range maps need to change every year. For example, black bears are now common in the NW Carson City, NV area, but the older maps will not show them within that range.

I don't think any map can keep up with the coyote's range. It expands greatly nonstop.

Same stuff with some plants. But unfortunately, mostly with the invasive species.

BTW, here I am in an area with a few snakes that are seen nowhere else in the USA. A very narrow range of only a few miles within the USA. Such as the Mexican Vine Snake, Ridge-Nosed Rattlesnake, Twin Spotted Rattlesnake, Thornscrub hook-nosed snake, Yaqui Black-headed snake, and the Green Rat Snake. I don't expect these ranges to expand any. More likely, they will do the opposite. The rattlesnakes listed above are protected by law in this county (Cochise County). All of these are more common in Mexico. This is the very northern end of all of their ranges.
