How to determine boundaries between MU's??

[Iron Sighted]

Hey all, I'm a little confused, how do you tell where one MU ends and another begins exactly? I live a little past Pemberton(more or less right at Gates lake for you locals) and looking at the map in the hunting regs it seems I am situated pretty close to where MU's 2-11, 2-10, 3-16, and 3-33 intersect. So, how can I find out exactly where the boundaries for each MU are?? Thanks for any help you guys can offer to a newbie.

I use the Backroads Mapbooks. Generally the boundaries follow roads, waterways (creeks, rivers, lakes), park boundaries and sometimes contour (elevation) lines. You can use the Provincial online map resources but I can't find the link at the moment. There's a Google interface too.

This week it's iMapBC (http://webmaps.gov.bc.ca/imfx/imf.jsp?site=imapbc). There's endless layers for roads, resource management, property ownership, management units, and on and on.

I always use back road map books compair with hunting regs then google earth then if not sure I go to the wildlife branch to make sure I know before hunting the area..

I had an interesting conversation about this with one of the local co's the other day when the boundary is a river. apparently the boundary of mu's set by rivers are determined by the following rule. when going down river the boundary is the high water mark on the right side of the river.

I use the backroads maps.....usually the boundaries are pretty easy to figure out correctly.

One year the govt moved a boundary from following the Halfway River to a spot further west of the river....with no obvious landmark for the new line to follow...on the way into our hunting camp I was stopped by a CO, he didn't know where it was now situated either and he got a little pissy when I asked him to mark by backroads map so I could figure out where the new line was???

River or creek as boundary

2 (1) Subject to subsection (2), if a river or creek, or any part of a river or creek, forms a part of the boundary of a management unit, that part of the boundary is conclusively deemed to follow the right hand bank of the river as you face downstream.
(2) If any part of the West Road (Blackwater) River, Liard River or the Peace River forms a part of the boundary of a management unit, that part of the boundary is conclusively deemed to follow the left hand bank of the river as you face downstream.
