New WMA Atlas Coming Soon!

The Wildlife Department is putting final touches on an updated atlas of maps for all of the Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) in the state.

Many Oklahoma hunters have expressed a desire for a revised atlas, and so the new atlases are being fine-tuned. The new atlas will be available in September and will cost $25.

As a bonus, every person who purchases a WMA atlas will also receive a one-year subscription to Outdoor Oklahoma, the state’s premiere, award-winning outdoors magazine.

To sign-up to receive an email notification when the atlas is available email info@odwc.state.ok.us
