§ 10842 Johnsville Game Refuge Boundaries

This law draws the borders of the Johnsville Game Refuge (Game Refuge 1K) by listing a series of straight lines with directions and distances inside Plumas County.

Key Takeaways

•The law precisely defines the refuge’s shape using bearings (like North 89° 39' 25" East) and distances (in feet).
•Anything inside that shape is part of the Game Refuge, so hunting or other prohibited activities are not allowed there.
•The boundaries became official on January 1, 2024, after the 2023 amendment.

Example

A hunter wants to know if a spot they are walking to is inside the refuge.

They can follow the list of directions and distances on a map; if the spot falls inside the closed shape made by those lines, it is inside the refuge and hunting there would be illegal.

How to Calculate

Total perimeter = Σ (length of each boundary segment)

Write down every distance given in the statute.
Add the first distance to the second, then keep adding each next distance to the running total.
The final sum is the total length around the refuge.

Finding the total fence length needed if the refuge were to be enclosed with a fence.

Result: Total perimeter ≈ 6,911.87 feet
