Range & habitat
The Pascagoula map turtle is restricted to the Pascagoula River system in the state of Mississippi in the United States. It formerly included a population in the Pearl River, but in 2010, that population was described as a separate species, the Pearl River map turtle, Graptemys pearlensis. The Pascagoula map turtle shares its range with the yellow-blotched map turtle, Graptemys flavimaculata.
