The maps in this atlas pinpoint a variety of public fishing areas, as well as public lands across Kansas. Walk-In Fishing Access (WIFA) areas are privately-owned ponds or streams the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks (KDWP) has leased and opened to public fishing. WIFA sites are labeled by an abbreviated access period, size, and boating restriction for each location. Each map also shows all federal reservoirs, state fishing lakes, river access areas, and community lakes.

Bathymetric maps are commonly used by anglers fishing new water, or looking to maximize catch on familiar water. These maps are an integral part of any angler's toolbox because they identify water depth and breaks where fish are known to congregate. Equipped with the maps linked, anglers can virtually 'scout' small Kansas impoundments to make sure their next fishing trip is a success.
