This range map needs to be updated to include the areas of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park where elk have been successfully reintroduced. There are about 200 elk in the park now, on the border between Tennessee and North Carolina:

The map of the elk's current range in the eastern US is incorrect and in sore need of an update. For example, there are well-known herds in Pennsylvania and South Dakota. I saw a herd in South Dakota ten years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 50.54.63.241 (talk) 21:11, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
