Forest Maps of Ranger Districts, Specific Trails and Recreation Areas

For information and maps of specific trails and recreation areas located within the Kisatchie National Forest, select which Ranger District you are interested in visiting. Please note that not every trail or recreation site has its own particular map. You may purchase maps online of a particular Ranger District or of the entire Kisatchie National Forest (Forest Visitor Map) by visiting Map Finder. Digital maps are $4.99 and paper maps are $14.00. You may also download maps on Avenza maps.

Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM)

The Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) is a requirement of the Travel Management Final Rule and reflects travel management decisions on each forest. (Click here for the Kisatchie's Transportation System Analysis Process Report.) The MVUM displays National Forest System (NFS) routes (roads and trails) or areas designated open to motorized travel. The MVUM also displays allowed uses by vehicle class (highway-legal vehicles, vehicles less than 50 inches wide and motorcycles), seasonal allowances and provides information on other travel rules and regulations. Routes not shown on the MVUM are not open to public motor vehicle travel. Routes designated for motorized use may not always be signed on the ground but will be identified on the MVUM. It will be the public’s responsibility to reference the MVUM to determine designated routes for motor vehicle use. The MVUM will be updated annually to correct mapping errors or discrepancies and update travel decisions.

The MVUM is a black and white map with no topographic features. It is not a stand alone map and is best used in conjunction with a Forest Visitor Map. The MVUM list is available below and sections of these maps may be printed from your home computer.
