- Waterproof - Tear-Resistant - Topographic Maps

National Geographic's Trails Illustrated Map Pack Bundle of Pisgah National Forest covers a land of mile-high peaks, cascading waterfalls, and heavily forested slopes. Comprised of over 500,000 acres, the Pisgah is primarily a hardwood forest with whitewater rivers, waterfalls and hundreds of miles of trails. This national forest is home of the first tract of land purchased under the Weeks Act of 1911 which led to the creation of the national forests in the eastern United States. It is also home of the first school of forestry in the United States, now preserved at the Cradle of Forestry in America historic site, and boasts two of the first designated wilderness areas in the east. The Pisgah, Grandfather and Appalachian Ranger Districts are scattered along the eastern edge of the mountains of western North Carolina and offer visitors a variety of opportunities for outdoor recreation and enjoying the natural beauty of the mountains.

With miles of mapped trails including portions of the Appalachian Trail, these maps can guide you off the beaten path and back again in some of the most breathtaking scenery in the region. Extensive trail charts will help you choose a trail that's right for your activity level and recreation use whether you're hiking, horseback riding, or biking. The map base includes contour lines, shaded relief, and elevations for summits and passes.
