| ONE STOP MAP SHOP WASHINGTON, DC, April 23, 2001 (ENS) - To provide better access to maps of the nation's 192 million acres of national forests and grasslands, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Forest Service have agreed to make Forest Service maps available from the USGS. The new agreement is an expansion of a successful pilot program began two years ago by the Forest Service Rocky Mountain Region and the USGS. Under the new agreement, all Forest Service regional offices will be able to participate in the USGS map sales program. The maps have only been available from Forest Service offices, select interpretive associations, and limited retail sales outlets. Now they can be ordered from the USGS or any of its authorized re-sellers, a list of which is available at: http://mapping.usgs.gov/esic/usimage/dealers.html. The USGS sells and distributes about three million paper maps every year, and the new one stop shopping will allow customers to purchase USGS topographic and Forest Service maps together. USGS topographic maps show both natural features such as mountains, valleys, plains, lakes, rivers and vegetation, and constructed features such as roads, boundaries, transmission lines and major buildings. A Forest Service map will complement these features with information on available recreation use, local plant and wildlife information, trails and visitors centers, facilities, campgrounds and picnic areas, and color photographs of points of interest and activities.
