Use the Interactive Forest Visitor Map to locate roads, campgrounds, trails and other recreation sites on national forests. You can zoom in for high resolution detail and change the background map to suit your needs. Using the Tools icon, you can print your map or save it as a Geo PDF map. You can then import your Geo PDF to your phone or tablet using a program like Avenza to show your live location on the map - even without a cell signal.
FSTopo map products overlay U.S. Forest Service roads, trails and campgrounds on U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps. They are available for download by quadrangle as geo-referenced PDFs. This means they can be printed or used with an app like Avenza to show your live location on the map using your mobile device's built-in GPS.
Forest Visitor Maps are available through the GAIA GPS app. The annual subscription to GAIA GPS includes free access to visitor maps nationwide.
Individuals camping on the Ozark-St. Francis National Forests are welcome to collect dead and down wood for their evening campfire without a permit. Individuals who wish to collect firewood on the national forests to burn at home or on private property must purchase a firewood permit. Firewood may only be collected in the designated areas provided with the firewood permit. Each firewood permit allows for the collection of up to 4 CCF (approximately four full-size pickup truck loads or four cords). The permit is valid for cutting dead and down wood only.
A standard firewood permit allows you to cut wood for personal use only. A special use permit may be required to collect firewood in bulk or for commercial purposes.
Permits may be purchased in person at your local district office or as an e-permit. If obtaining an e-permit, download collection area maps below.
