Wyoming maps

[Switchbkshooter]

I'mdoing a DIY antelope hunt in Eastern Wyoming and was wondering where the best place to buy BLM maps would be. It would be nice if the maps showed some sort of GPS coordinates as I can use my GPS to ensure I am on public land. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You may have a BLM office in your town. Maybe at least an office in the Federal building (P.O.).

The national office is:
U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
DENVER, CO 80225

The Wyoming state office is:
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT
WYOMING STATE OFFICE
P.O. BOX 1828
CHEYENNE, WY 82003

There's also a company called DeLorme that make a decent atlas of topo maps of various states. That would be available at book store or even a sporting goods store.

One note on accessing public lands that a lot of people don't know, it is only legal to access public land via "publicly maintained roads". If a road sayd "PRIVATE" then it is not legal to traverse on it and even though it accesses public lands, would be illegal and tresspassing if you were to use it. Sucks, huh?

What area did you draw? And will you be hunting archery or rifle?

Thanks for the info game4lunch. I applied for area 7 since it has a 100% draw rate for nonresidents and I hear there is a pretty good quantity of antelope in that area. I'm from Illinois and am planning my first trek over there for antelope. I'd prefer to hunt on public land, but if need be I wouldn't be against paying a small trespass fee to local landowners to let me hunt. When I say small, I mean like $250 or less. Do landowners offer trespass fees that low? Once again thanks for the help. Anything I can learn would be appreciated.

Sorry, I forgot to tell you I will be using a rifle.

I think that at this site's home page you can find links to some map providers products. I've also used Mytopo.com they have a "western state hunt area" link, where you can pick the state, species, hunting zone, etc. to customize the map you need for your hunt.

The map I got last year for hunting in Wyoming was very detailed, colored to show different land ownership (e.g. BLM, state, private, Indian Res., etc.) and it had good labelling for the most part on land features.
