Planning a hunt near Big Trails? The Washakie County hunting map is really two maps: public areas from Wyoming Game and Fish Department and private lines from the county. In this county guide: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and getting landowner permission the right way for land near Ten Sleep.
Building your Washakie County hunting map
For acreage around Big Trails, Wyoming Game and Fish Department publishes the public-land maps, including wildlife management areas and other access programs where they exist.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the Washakie County Beacon site; it includes each assessed parcel in the county, Washakie Ten included. Without an address in hand, follow the nearest road on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, and that holds around West River too. With a lot near Ten Sleep, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Washakie Ten, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Worland and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
For a home near Mc Nutt, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the County Clerk. Long-held tracts near Worland can sit on several deeds, so a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Offices that can help
For assessment questions about property around South Flat belong with the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Mc Nutt are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Aerial scouting
On the aerial around Mc Nutt, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; then confirm whose land each feature is on.

Neighboring parcel maps
