Forest Service Topographic Maps are at a scale of 1:24,000 (2.64 inches to the mile) and offer the most detailed view of the terrain. These maps are based on USGS Quad maps, but also feature recreation features, such as such as roads, trails, and campgrounds. They were developed in the 1990s, so some of the information may be outdated.
Topographic Quadrangle or “Quad” Maps are at a scale of 1:24,000 (2.64 inches to the mile) and offer the most detailed view of the terrain. These maps feature elevation contours and are considered essential to carry for those venturing into the backcountry via an established trail system or cross-country on foot.
National Forest and Pacific Northwest Interagency Recreation (Visitor) Maps are at a scale of 1:126,720 (one half inch to the mile) and are useful for general trip planning and navigating the main state, county, and primary Forest Service roads. Most feature shaded relief, denote land ownership, and highlight developed recreation sites including campgrounds, boat launches, and day use areas.
Ranger District Maps are at a scale of 1:63,360 (one inch to the mile) and are useful for detailed trip planning and navigating a District’s secondary, unpaved, one-lane, and backcountry roads. In addition to developed recreation sites, these maps show hiking trails and roads closed to vehicle use. Most District maps include elevation contours and some include vegetation cover. These maps are popular with hunters, hikers, and those interested in dispersed recreation and cross-country foot travel.
Wilderness Maps are generally at a scale of 1:63,360 (one inch to the mile) and are useful for those planning and completing trips into designated Wilderness. These maps include elevation contours and vegetation cover, and highlight Wilderness boundaries, trailheads, and trails.

They are generally at scales of between 1:42,000 and 1:75,000 (about 1.5 and 0.85 inches to the mile) and display only National Forest System routes (roads and trails) that are open to motor vehicles.
