Composite map of periodical cicada broods
Broods I-XIV are 17-year broods; Broods XIX-XXIII are 13-year.
See table for links to individual brood maps.
These maps are intended to portray only approximate, present-day brood distributions. They are based on previously published maps (Marlatt 1923; Simon 1988) and unpublished data. However, they have not been field checked, and they do not portray historical reports of brood emergences. A project is currently underway to make new maps of periodical cicada broods. See the Magicicada mapping project homepage.
