Maps and Brochures

FOREST VISITOR MAPS
Forest Visitor Maps are at a smaller scale than topographic quadrangle maps and typically do not show contours. They are best used to view an entire National Forest and are great for driving through or planning a trip to the forest, showing recreational sites, campgrounds, public information sites and other attractions in the forest.

Wilderness maps and special area maps are used to illustrate specific recreation opportunities over specific areas, and provide information appropriate to the maps themes, such as how to obtain Wilderness use permits if needed. These maps typically provide more detail than the Forest Visitor map and are used for hiking and other activities.

Forest Visitor maps, Wilderness maps, and Topographic Quadrangle maps may be purchased at the Malheur National Forest Supervisor's Office in John Day. Currently we do not have our forest map available online, however you can visit one of our forest offices to obtain one.

Maps may also be purchased through postal mail by using our Ordering Form.

GENERAL GUIDES
"A Guide To Your National Forests" is a free brochure showing locations of national forests and grasslands along with contact information and is available from any of our forest offices.

TOPOGRAPHIC MAPS
"Topographic Maps" provide the greatest level of detail however only cover small portions of a forest. These maps are available to purchase from the US Geological Survey, or from the Malheur National Forest Supervisor's Office in John Day.
