Default Help! Conflicting Maps, Which to use

Ran into problems this afternoon when planning out my next waterfowl experience.

Found a couple of maps that show the boundary to a bird sanctuary as being in the middle of a lake. These maps include 4 different ones published by SRD in an Integrated Resource Plan.

I then looked at my county map, which shows the boundary as being over a mile different. F&W said talk to lands, who I'm waiting to hear back from.

That being said, if they don't get back to me, which should I use? Maps from SRD (albeit released in 1989) and a matching map from a snowmobile club, or a county map that F&W says the Provincial Government is not responsible for, nor do they guarantee the accuracy of.....

This seems obvious to me. Use the most restrictive boundary as it will mean that you won't be charged if you are checked regardless of what map the officer is using.

Check the definition. Each WMU's boundaries are defined in writing. that's the one that counts.
