Avenza Maps Update

Due to changes to the Avenza Map Store, some updated Forest Service GeoPDFs (PDF maps enabled for navigation in certain mobile apps) such as motor vehicle use and over snow vehicle maps (MVUM, OSVUM) may no longer be available through Avenza and are instead provided for download directly through Forest Service websites.  

To find an app to view geospatial PDF maps, search your app store for terms such as “GeoPDF”, “geospatial PDF”, “offline PDF maps”, or “GPS PDF maps.” The Forest Service provides the map files but does not endorse or provide support for third-party applications.

Winter Range Closure Maps

Winter range is habitat deer and elk migrate to in order to find more favorable living conditions during the winter.  Winter range is found predominantly in lower elevations of central Oregon and is extremely important to mule deer survival. Winter ranges usually have minimal amounts of snow cover and provide vegetation for forage, hiding cover, and protection from the weather. In Oregon, mule deer migrate, often long distances, to lower elevations to escape or minimize exposure to snow cover.
