New Guzzler Atlas now available
The Nevada Department of wildlife has gone back to the drawing board and completely redesigned the Water Development Atlas into an exceptional new tool for sportsmen and wildlife enthusiasts.
The new Wildlife Water Development Atlas includes 160 full color, detailed map pages covering the entire State of Nevada. Each map page is drawn at 1:144,000 scale (one inch on the page is approximately equal to 2-1/4 miles on the ground), which means that each map now offers much more detail than any previous Water Development Atlas.
In addition to showing the location of both big and small game guzzlers.
The book now includes land management status information and UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinates for GPS (Global Positioning System) use.
“There is so much more information in this new book. Not only the roads but the land access is an important addition. It is so much more detailed it’s ridiculous,” said Chris Vasey, outdoor educator at NDOW. “I would definitely recommend this to every type of hunter. It’s such a valuable resource out in the field.”
The book is also a valuable tool for wildlife enthusiasts. Upland game like chukar, sage grouse and rabbits use the water developments, as do big game like deer, bighorn sheep and antelope. Even other non-game species, such as lizards, bluebirds and kangaroo rats frequent these developments.
You can now purchase the new Nevada Wildlife Water Development Atlas for $50 from your nearest NDOW office and take your choice of more than 1,600 guzzlers to visit.
