Map of Anemone Search Locations
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=15Aw7rFcaagPH2kQ6ZAklt_6L0aSEB2kP&ll=32.57945730870446%2C-97.24197340546874&z=9
Our goal for this BioBlitz is to visit each of the locations on the map during this blooming season. If you come across anemones of either species, please upload photos to iNat (separate observation for each flower,) making sure to photograph at least the flower stem below the leafy bract. If you visit a location on the map and don't find any Carolina Anemones (A. caroliniana), send a message to @pfau_tarleton to let us know you looked and didn't find anything so we can update the map.
Stars on the map indicate sandy soils.
Red = A. caroliniana present
Grey = A. caroliniana NOT present
Blue = Cemetery to be searched
Yellow = Park or other location to be searched
DFW Sandy Soils Map

A. caroliniana seems to favor sandy soils instead of those with more clay or loam. This link will show you the sandy soils around DFW to help narrow your search if you visit locations beyond those on the map (which would be VERY helpful!)

@kimberlietx - Can you sent me a picture or post of the sandy soils map north of collin county. I've moved to Grayson county and am interested in the area for looking this year. Or post the link where I can search for it.
@butterflies4fun @pfau_tarleton is running the soil maps. By this comment, I'll ask him to answer your question.
@butterflies4fun, here's a map of sandy soils between DFW and the Red River:
