Most of the NF roads were constructed with timber $$$ so as to get the logs out of the woods. There are borrow pits scattered about most Ranger Districts with extensive road systems. Most are rarely used anymore. These are the very best places to shoot on NF lands. Isolated, safe and can usually be driven into.
Ask at the Ranger District office about locations of borrow or gravel pits. If the receptionist is well versed, she/he may know where they are at or well call someone that knows. Some District maps show the location of pits, marked with crossed picks.
Ask to buy a District map, or Fire Map. They are very good quality and cost only $6. Most NF website offer free USGS base maps for downloads, which are also very useful.
FS maps also show public and private land boundarys, and they are usually marked with yellow boundary signs stating "The lands behind this sign are publicly owned" or some such.
