You have to start from a KNOWN POINT!. Then count side rods. Use a pen to mark roads you like. In Kansas, roads are marked with street signs. County line roads etc. Once you get the hang of it, it's easy. Most, but not all are section lines, a mile, watch your odometer and count.

Like the above poster said...start at a known point on the map and in real life and go from there. North is the top of the map.

Also, the WIHA land boundaries are marked with signage from KDWP.

Using google earth helps too
 

As mentioned before, start from a known point and count section roads as you drive. All the WIHA land should be marked clearly and all adjacent private land should be marked as well.

One thing that I find that helps is to go on google earth and print off maps of the WIHA lands that you are interested in and collect them all in a 1 in binder. This helps to not only find little gems that you wouldn't be able to see from the road (such as ponds or tucked away food sources) but it's a convenient way to take notes on which land was productive and which land wasn't. Just be sure and recheck the latest WIHA map published every year because landowners might not renew every season. Hope this helps
