Not sure the extent of each DWR region? Visit the Utah Fish PLanner HERE (accept the redirect when that comes up). Once in the Planner, click on "Add A Map Layer" in the menu on the left side of the screen. Select "UDWR Regions" and regional boundaries (in brown) will be added to the map.

DWR regional hierarchical structure (generally) included below.

Note that Law Enforcement personnel are now a completely separate Division under the Department of Natural Resources. We have 5 sections (aquatics, wildlife, admin, habitat, and outreach) in the Division and 5 regions (Central, Northeastern, Northern, Southeastern, and Southern).
