Visitor Maps and Guides

Maps

Maps are available for sale at most ranger district offices and at the visitor centers.

• MVUM (Motor Vehicle Use Maps) for the Tongass National Forest
• Alaska National Forest Reference Map
• Forest Service Digital Maps
• USDA Forest Service Visitor Maps - purchase downloads or hard copies
• USGS Store National outlet for topographic maps
• The Avenza Map Store Forest Service maps

  • 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 these 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.
