I seem to recall when I lived near a national forest that TIGER and the USGS would use Forest Service XX when spelling out major routes, and National Forest Development XXX or NFD XXXX on the minors. In either case, most people that travel in or near national forests regularly will find FS and NFD immediately recognizable. >
