New Laurentia and Kilimaya are the two full-sized hunting reserves. Hearth & Hunt Headquarters adds a smaller playable area with a lodge, shooting range and wildlife.

The launch FAQ describes New Laurentia as a 10 by 10 kilometre North American-inspired region with open hunting and structured objectives from four NPCs. Its statement that there is only one map describes the March launch, not the current game.

Kilimaya arrived in 0.2.0.195528 as a 100 km² African reserve with highlands, forests, grasslands, wetlands, shrubland and barren terrain. Its original 12-species roster expanded with Southern Common Warthog in 0.3.0.199567. The animals-by-reserve guide lists each confirmed species.
On screen: The in-game Hunting Map tilted in 3D over the whole reserve, with named regions, lakes and markers; the weather-forecast panel is labelled Kilimaya Reserve, the controls read Place Marker and 2D/3D, and a species filter list opens down the left edge.

Update 0.4.0 describes a new map of roughly 16 square kilometres, smaller than the main reserves. It includes a lodge, shooting range and wildlife drawn from North American species. It is a playable area, not just a trophy-menu background.
If you cannot reach a placed decoy or another piece of equipment, move within 50 metres and use Collect on its map marker. The item goes to Storage. This action was added in 0.3.2.204916.
Patch 1.1 adds a long-term weather forecast through the in-game menu, taking effect after 48 in-game hours. The developer says changing the likelihood of snowy weather is separate from animal aging. This is not an instant weather change or a reason to assume every sleep advances trophies; the exact menu route and current-build result have not yet been tested.
Update 1.4 lets you repair the broken bridge near the New Laurentia Shooting Range from either side. It also fixes collision on a wooden pier in New Laurentia and on a rock at the north of Mishipeshu Swamp, plus missing river and stream surfaces in the HUB.
