The Moose distribution map is way off, even by historical standards. Alces alces are present in most of the Rockies, with large populations in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. I'm not sure about New Mexico, nor the states further west.
Elk too have populations in the Rockies, notably Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Idaho.
Both animals were primarily plains dwellers until the pioneers settled and started tearing up earth for crops. They gradually moved into the mountains, leaving deer and Pronghorns as the ungulates of the plains.
