Forest Service Roads
Oregon follows slightly different guidelines for naming Forest Service roads than are found in the Forest Service Roads page. FS roads in Oregon are all assigned a 7-digit number that can be found in the Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM). To avoid excessively long names, FS road signs and many map products use a truncated version of the MVUM number which better fits Waze's needs. Naming should be set as follows: Primary Routes Use the first two digits of the MVUM number.
- Example: FS-46 / Breitenbush Rd (MVUM #: 4600000)
Secondary Routes Use the first four digits of the MVUM number.
- Example: FS-4697 (MVUM #: 4697000)
- (NOTE:
Low-Standard Routes
- Example: FS-350 (MVUM #: 4697350)
Mapping Resources
Currently, the most useful reference map known for Waze editing in National Forests is the Forest Service Topographical (FSTopo) Map Service. This map is believed to provide the most up-to-date road types and road condition assessments among the many products provided by the Forest Service, including the MVUM.
