Hi, my first post here. I moved to WA 6 months ago from TX. Very different experience after living for 20 years in TX. :) I am trying to prepare for the upcoming hunting season and I am looking over the maps and browsing the forum, but I need some help.
Can some one explain the road system on public lands to me? I see references to A-lines, C-lines, D-lines, V-lines, etc ... What do they all mean? :)
Thanks a lot!

The drainage that the road runs through. Unless were thinking of different things. Ex: Q-line, Q-#### would be Quinault and then the roads switch to C-line 'Clearwater'.

A lot of the timber companies just use those for designation instead of calling them by a name. Capitol State Forest has an A,B,C, and D line. On national forest lands you'll see a FS2270 or something like it. The FS stands for forest service road. Some companies just use numbers for their roads. Check out google earth as it can do a lot of your scouting for you and save you a lot of walking. You can also buy a Public Lands Quadrangle map that has most of the lands labeled so you know the different ownerships.
