Where is a good place to find maps of BLM, National forest and private land boundries of the area between big bear, johnson valley and landers?

You're best bet would be a BLM Surface Management Map. They are based on the USGS 100k series maps.

You would need the Big Bear Lake Map

Not sure it's a "good" place, but Google earth shows a lot of that stuff.

Curtis,

The Barstow BLM Field Office on Hwy 247 has several different maps for sale. I bought "All Topo Maps" California edition from Mining and More in Hesperia and it has the complete set of topo's for the entire state of California on 14 cd's. These are the USGS topo's that you buy at REI or a print shop. The program cost $90 but you can print and size your own maps at home. This is great for finding trails and features and referencing back and forth with Google Earth. The California Trail Users Coalition (CTUC) has a good set of maps that show most of the BLN and Forestry roads and trail numbers. The one that would want is "San Bernardino National Forest and Barstow BLM Areas".
