Summer Adventures on Backcountry Roads
Summer is coming to an end but there is still plenty time to visit the vast public lands of the West: more than 350 million acres of national forests and BLM-managed lands that stretch from Alaska to Mexico, from the Pacific Ocean to the Great Plains. Exploring these spectacular back roads by ATV, SUV or some other, preferably 4WD vehicle will lead you to ghost towns, abandoned mines, and great places for camping, hiking, ATVing, or mountain biking.
Public lands are America’s playground—go outdoors and enjoy them! To help you find those public lands you will need maps. BLM color coded surface management maps are the only ones to show public, private, state, or tribal lands. At 1:100,000 scale they show topography, hydrology and, most importantly, all those back country roads you may be looking for.
Forest Service recreation maps show numbered roads and trails within the forest, and also campgrounds. If you plan to ride your ATV or other motorized vehicles on national forests, make sure you have both a Forest recreation map and a Motor Vehicle Use Map. Forest roads throughout the West have been recently re-classified to allow for certain uses only; you may be fined if driving down the wrong road. Links to existing Motor Vehicle Use Maps are provided on this website; they can also be ordered free of charge from Forest Service district offices.

Free Public Lands Map
As part of the continuing effort to raise awareness of and to provide education about our public lands, PLIA is offering a free public lands map.
The National Geographic Public Lands of the United States map is available for a limited time. National Geographic reprinted this beautiful, poster-sized map, which shows all lands under federal management, as part of its Geography Action! program. The back side of the map features lots of useful information for educators, parents, and recreationists, as well as interesting activities for kids.
While there is no charge for these items, regular shipping charges apply. Click on the link to order up to 2 free items from PLIA's online public lands bookstore. If you need more than two maps, please call us toll free at 877-851-8946.
