Flagship Sites are locations that are known to Southern Nevada visitors and residents as having outstanding birding and wildlife opportunities or other scenic features (e.g. Great Basin National Park). * indicates Flagship Site

Regional Hubs are communities that have a range of year-round visitor support services, and serve as bases for radiating out to wildlife viewing sites.

Satellite Hubs are small, rural communities that have sufficient, year-round, visitor support services (accommodations, food, gas, water) and can serve as bases for radiating out to regional hubs and/or wildlife viewing sites.
