Abstract:

The Northern Map Turtle, Graptemys geographica, is a Maryland state

Endangered Species, found only in the lower Susquehanna River in Maryland.

The only area where nests of this species are not heavily impacted by predators

occurs in the town of Port Deposit. However, turtles in Port Deposit must often

cross a gravel parking lot with constant vehicular traffic to reach the nesting

sites, and turtles may become disoriented by human disturbance and move

away from the river, towards the main roadway through the town, Maryland

Route 222. In addition, the soil in which the turtles are nesting is heavily

compacted and turtles often abandon nest sites after unsuccessful nesting

attempts.
