If there is doubt concerning unit boundaries they should be determined using the written descriptions of game management units and large-scale topographical maps of the area. Because of the extreme small size of some areas having specific state restrictions, they are not shown on this map. Please refer to Articles 6, 7 and 8 of the Hunting Regulations and Articles 5 and 6 of the Trapping Regulations for this information. This map and State Hunting and Trapping Regulations reflect Board of Game regulations. Persons are advised that additional restrictions may be imposed by the land manager.
