Nevada records for the canyon mouse are anchored by Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge and Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge. They show where people have reported it, not how many animals live there.
The Nevada records stretch from southern desert country toward the state’s northern basins. They show a wider in-state footprint than the best-known southern sites alone. The strongest reporting falls in summer, when Nevada’s high country is easiest to reach but low deserts are hottest. That may shape where observers submit records.
One research-grade iNaturalist record and 910 GBIF records contribute 911 documented Nevada encounters, not an estimate of abundance. The canyon mouse is native to Nevada, has no specific state conservation listing here, and is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
