on some WMAs there is property that is part of the WMA that is only connected at a corner to another part of the WMA (caddycorner). is it safe to assume that you can cross at these corners without trespassing?

In oil and gas law adjacent properties only joined by a corner are considered contiguous.

I don't know how that goes for access as they only touch less than a centimeter wide, and you are well , probably wider than a centimeter.

You have to jump from one parcel to the other. If you don't, you will be trespassing.

No problem at all (as long as you don't get caught).

As stated before, properties that meet at a corner are NOT contiguous. (At least, that is what I believe that TClayboy meant to write) There would need to be some sort of "right of passage" agreement to traverse between the two tracts.

Plus, we are assuming that you could even correctly identify where the exact location of the corner is out in the woods.

Lac Ophelia has two corners like that with a Dr. McCann road running between them. I was always too chicken to cross that road.
