Maps: improve the way county- and state-level data are shown #678

Closed jnga closed 6 years ago

jnga commented 6 years ago

Make some improvements to the way maps show county-level data (requested by BB via SK):

Only show the state-level data when there are no county-level records.

This will avoid misleading and will give a truer representation of the plant’s distribution.

Also, make change to the “about the labels on the map”:

From: State documented: never been documented from the county, but known from the state. May be present. Or, may be restricted to a small area or a habitat (alpine, marsh, etc.), so unlikely found in some counties.

To: State documented: documented to exist in the state, but not documented to a county within the state. Also covers those considered historical (not seen in 20 years).
