Tahoe National Forest

Maps & Brochures

The 2006 Tahoe National Forest recreation map is available by mail from the Forest Headquarters. We normally carry the forest map as well as these speciality maps and maps of adjacent forests:

• Overland Emigrant Trail
• South Yuba River
• Gold Lakes Basin
• Eldorado National Forest
• Plumas National Forest
• Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit

Actual selection varies by office location.

• National Forest maps for all national forests are available by mail from the National Forest Store. 
• Many National Forest maps are available from commercial vendors, such as outdoor equipment stores, in the regional area. Prices vary at commercial locations.
• When possible, our handouts and pamphlets are being converted to digital form for you to download from our publications page.

We do not sell topographic maps at our offices. Many other vendors carry some or all of these maps. The map index below will help you determine which quadrangles you desire. Our non-profit Interpretive Associations, Interpretation Association of the West and Eastern Sierra Interpretive Association sell National Geographic topographic maps of the Forest through their outlets in our Ranger Stations and Visitor Center at Big Bend. These maps (sheets 804 and 805) show the entire forest on a topographic base. They are not available by mail from the Forest Service.
