The US Forest Service provides several types of publications and maps to the public. The material is available in many forms: brochures, maps, Recreational Opportunity Guides (ROGs), on such subjects as recreation, sightseeing, wilderness, travel management, and vegetation.

Forest Maps

The Forest Service publishes a variety of map products to help you plan your next adventure or enjoy your next visit!

For example:

• You can purchase National Forest Visitor Maps through our partner organization, Eldorado National Forest Interpretive Association (ENFIA), or the U.S. Geological Survey Store.
• Several types of mobile compatible maps are available from Avenza Maps.
• US Geological Survey website offers USGS Topographic Maps and a wide variety of maps on-line and for purchase.

In general, forest visitor and other kinds of maps may also be purchased at most Eldorado National Forest Offices.

Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM)

The Motor Vehicle Use Map displays National Forest System routes (roads and trails) or areas designated open to motorized travel. The Motor Vehicle Use Map also displays uses allowed by vehicle class (highway-legal vehicles, vehicles less than 50 inches wide and motorcycles), and seasonal allowances.
