IMPORTANT: Beginning April 2026, the Forest Service can no longer update or add new digital maps to the Avenza Map Store. When a paper map is updated, the previous digital version will be removed from the store and not replaced. Digital maps that have not yet been updated will remain available on the store. MVUMs are reissued each year. It is the responsibility of motor vehicle users to acquire the current MVUM.
