Wilderness Areas of the United States

National Geographic's Destination Map of Wilderness Areas of the United States highlights the more than 825 wilderness areas across America. The country is represented in subtle earth-tones with shaded mountain relief and intricately drawn river systems. Photos capture some of the diverse landscapes preserved and protected by the national park system. A list of all wilderness areas, sorted by state, is also included to help you find the closest wilderness. Wilderness areas are managed by four different government agencies: the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

Every Destination Map is printed on durable synthetic paper, making them waterproof, tear-resistant and tough — capable of withstanding the rigors of any kind of travel.
