Does anybody know of where I can find a more detailed map of the Maurepas swamp WMA? It would be helpful to know established trails, landmarks, topography, etc, before I just go trekking off into the woods blind. I’m interested in possible hunting around the King George Rd. tract around French Settlement, Blind River parts, and maybe off of I10. Any advice on where to start looking for decent hunting spots in those areas?

There is a parking spot on Hwy 16 near French Settlement, there are a few trails cut through the woods there, I have not been to the King George side of that property. There is no access points along i-10, if you park along the interstate you will be ticketed. Boat is you best option for most of this property...

If you are willing to spend some dough, check out Apex Mapping Solutions (apexmappingsolutions.com). The guy makes really nice maps of all the public lands in Louisiana. I prefer the LiDAR maps, since Google Earth imagery is high res. He basically overlays all of the features from the WMA map with roads, utilities, etc.

I think the smaller size (3'×4' IIRC) runs about $20.

Not sure what his status is right now though. He is located in BR, and the flooding did affect him.
