This dataset provide maps to show the search and harvest areas used by community residents for all subsistence resources combined across Interior Alaska for the years 2011 through 2017. The maps show the extent of areas used by residents for those communities where data collection and research has occurred; it is not a comprehensive use map for the entire area. The maps are a composite of data collected by the Division of Subsistence, Alaska Department of Fish and Game using standardized methods where respondents indicated the search areas for species harvested, the amounts harvested, and the location and months of harvest. These data are important for research, analysis, and regulatory assessment.
