Zones 2-10 in the map have been subdivided into light- and dark-colored sections
(a and b) that represent 5 F (2.8 C) differences within the 10 F (5.6 C)
zone. The light color of each zone represents the colder section;
the dark color, the warmer section. Zone 11 represents any area where
the average annual minimum temperature is above 40 F (4.4 C). The map shows
20 latitude and longitude lines. Areas above an arbitrary elevation
are traditionally considered unsuitable for plant cropping and do not bear
appropriate zone designations. There are also island zones that,
because of elevation differences, are warmer or cooler than the surrounding
areas and are given a different zone designation. Note that many
large urban areas carry a warmer zone designation than the surrounding
countryside. The map-contains as much detail as possible, considering
the vast amount of data on which it is based and its size.
