What types of maps are available?
Forest Visitor Map: (2007) Scaled 1/2" to the mile. One half of the Forest is shown on one side and the other half is displayed on the reverse side. These maps include streams, roads, county lines, communities, trails and recreation sites but do not have contour lines. These maps are suitable for auto touring, locating sites, and general use but are not detailed enough for backcountry travel.
Notice: Correction to the Monongahela National Forest Visitor Map
The Forest Visitor map includes a trail through Blackwater Canyon, listed as TR 115. The 5.5 mile section between the Forest Service gates crosses both public and private ownership. The boundary is roughly down the centerline of the grade but is not marked. To respect the rights of the private landowner, visitors are asked to stay on the uphill side of the grade.
The public portion is no longer part of the Monongahela National Forest trail system and no maintenance is performed.
The grade contains washouts, rough surfaces and large sinkholes, some of which extend onto the public ownership. Use caution if you choose to visit this area!
Topographic Maps: Topographic maps are available for the entire forest by section. These maps do include contour lines and are detailed enough for backcountry travel. Please indicate which topographic maps you want when ordering. A list of all of the topographic maps is available.
