Area photos are works of U.S. federal agencies (mostly the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Forest Service) and are in the public domain in the United States. They were found through Wikimedia Commons, which hosts copies of agency photos. Each one was used only if its Commons page carries a U.S.-government public-domain license tag and no Creative Commons tag, its original source is linked, and, where the original is on Flickr, the Flickr page itself shows “United States Government Work”, “No known copyright restrictions” or a public domain mark. Photos were resized and compressed for this site. Their use does not imply endorsement by any agency.
