Abstract:

The Special Area Maps coincide with USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle maps, but may conform to other geographic lines or to topographic or cultural features. Because of the wide variety of needs and interests found within special areas, there is no specific standard scale for the Wilderness and Special Area Maps. These maps are any combination of various functional layers necessary to portray the specific special area. The maps include entry points and parking areas, trails, springs, hydrography, National Forest land ownership, topography, emergency information and use restrictions. The Wilderness or Special Areas include enough contiguous area to show essential access routes and management areas. The map update cycle is determined by the Forest. These maps are available through the Regional and Forest Public Affairs Offices and at District Ranger Stations.
