Rocky Mountain Region

Get ready for your visit to the Rocky Mountain Region's (R2) national forests and national grasslands by checking out our detailed maps, brochures, and information guides.

Each Visitor Map covers all or a portion of one national forest or national grassland, the US Forest Service does not print Visitor Maps outside of national forest or national grassland boundaries. Most of our Visitor Maps are available in a water-proof plastic weave for $10 and/or paper for $9 (prices vary by location). When older version maps are scheduled for reprint, the new maps will only be available in the plastic version. The maps are printed in a scale of 1:126,720, with 1/2 inch per mile, although some maps use a scale of 1 inch per mile. The Visitor Maps show property boundaries (to view changes in lands ownership of national forests lands in the Rocky Mountain Region, click HERE), roads, trails, streams, lakes, recreation sites (such as campgrounds, picnic sites, etc.), land ownership, major points of interest and designated wilderness areas. The US Forest Service also offers statewide wilderness maps for Colorado and Wyoming, showing all the Congressionally-designated wilderness areas within each state for $3 each.

Travel Management prescriptions for motorized recreation, current at the time of each Visitor Map's printing, are displayed on each Visitor Map. For more detailed motorized recreation information, the public is strongly encouraged to view the most current Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM). These maps are available on-line by clicking HERE or visiting the closest Ranger District to the area you are interested in.

Topographic Maps

Topographic maps provide the greatest level of detail and cover smaller portions of a national forest or grassland. The most popular USGS topographic maps are known as "7.5-minute" maps. These maps have a 1:24,000 scale, which allows for greater topographic detail. Typically, these maps show roads, trails, streams, lakes, recreation sites and major points of interest. As these maps are updated by the USGS they also include boundary lines of national forests and national grasslands. These types of maps are available for purchase from:

• Internet Sales - USGS Map Store
• In-person Sales - Topographic Maps can be purchased at the Map Store@USGS in the Denver Federal Center. Click on the map below for directions
