Steps
Go to https://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant-pests-diseases/eab/eab-infestation-map.
Use the embedded ArcGIS web app to search by state or county and zoom into county-level infestation data.
Cross-reference the specific county before transporting ash firewood, kiln-dried ash lumber, or nursery stock out of a known-infested area.
Pair with the dontmovefirewood.org state page for that state's current legal requirements, since infestation presence on this map and legal quarantine status are no longer the same thing post-2021 federal deregulation.
Known gotchas
This map shows known EAB-infested counties, not an active federal regulatory quarantine boundary — since the federal EAB quarantine was lifted in 2020/2021, appearing on this map is informational, not automatically a legal transport restriction (check state rules separately).
The map is an embedded ArcGIS web viewer, not a documented public REST/JSON API endpoint as confirmed during this session — plan on the interactive viewer or contacting APHIS for bulk data access rather than assuming a public API exists.
