Recreation Forest Visitor Map

 

"Visitor Maps" for each national forest and grassland provide forest-wide information on attractions, facilities, services, and opportunities.

National Forest Visitor Maps are at a smaller scale than topographic quadrangle maps and typically do not show contours. They are best used to view an entire National Forest and are great for driving through or planning a trip to the forest, showing recreational sites, campgrounds, public information sites and other attractions in the forest.

Wilderness maps and special area maps are used to illustrate specific recreation opportunities over specific areas, and provide information appropriate to the maps themes, such as how to obtain Wilderness use permits if needed. These maps typically provide more detail than the Forest Visitor map and are used for hiking and other activities.

Forest Visitor maps, Wilderness maps, and Topographic Quadrangle maps may also be purchased at any Ranger Station on the San Bernardino National Forest.   Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) is available for free at any Ranger Station or can be viewed and downloaded on the MVUM webpage.
