Hi Jim,
Same reason there are Toyotas and Fords. People have different wants.
I do not rely on the maps at all anymore. I have a thermometer that
records the highs and lows. The micro climate here does not match the
zone maps at all.
My zone seems to be in flux right now. Lower winter temps, last 4-5 years.
I take the zone map as a very rough guide. I hope somebody develops a
better tool.
Later,
Tom

What good are all of the other wannabee climate zone maps? The USDA
map
is in general use by catalog plant sellers; can you imagine the
confusion if
each used a different one? Do the other climate zone map authors hope
that
catalogers will adopt theirs?
