PURPOSE AND CONTENTS OF THIS MAP The designations shown on this motor vehicle use map(MVUM) were made by the responsible official pursuant to 36CFR 212.51; are effective as of the date on the front cover ofthis MVUM; and will remain in effect until superseded by nextyear's MVUM.

Designation of a road, trail, or area for motor vehicleuse by a particular class of vehicle under 36 CFR 212.51should not be interpreted as encouraging or inviting useor implying that the road, trail, or area is passable,actively maintained, or safe for travel. Motor vehicledesignations include parking along designated routesand at facilities associated with designated routes when itis safe to do so and when not causing damage toNational Forest System resources. Seasonal weatherconditions and natural events may render designatedroads and trails impassable for extended periods.Designated areas may contain dangerous or impassableterrain. Many designated roads and trails may bepassable only by high-clearance vehicles or four-wheel-drive vehicles. Maintenance of designated roads andtrails will depend on available resources, and many mayreceive little maintenance.

This motor vehicle use map identifies those roads,trails, and areas designated for the motor vehicle useunder 36 CFR 212.51 for the purpose of enforcing theprohibition at 36 CFR 261.13. This is a limited purpose.The other public roads are shown for information andnavigation purposes only and are not subject todesignation under the Forest Service travel managementregulation. These designations apply only to National ForestSystem roads, National Forest System trails, andareas on National Forest System lands.

It is the responsibility of the user to acquire the currentMVUM. This map shows the National Forest Systemroads, National Forest System trails, and the areas onNational Forest System lands in the Bridgeport andCarson Districts that are designated for motor vehicleuse pursuant to 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)212.51. This MVUM also identifies the vehicle classesallowed on each route and in each area; and anyseasonal restrictions that apply on those routes and inthose areas. VICINITY MAP

As a motor vehicle operator on a National ForestSystem road, trail, or area, you must comply with this map,as well as all Federal, State, and local laws andregulations. Compliance with these rules is yourresponsibility.

OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES Operating a motor vehicle on National Forest Systemroads, National Forest System trails, and in areas onNational Forest System lands carries a greaterresponsibility than operating that vehicle in a city or otherdeveloped setting. Not only must you know and follow allapplicable traffic laws, you need to show concern for theenvironment as well as other forest users. The misuse ofmotor vehicles can lead to the temporary or permanentclosure of any designated road, trail, or area. As a motorvehicle operator, you are also subject to State traffic law,including State requirements for licensing, registration, andoperation of the vehicle in question. Motor vehicle use, especially off-highway vehicle use,involves inherent risks that may cause property damage,serious injury, and possibly death to participants. Drivecautiously and anticipate rough surfaces and features, suchas snow, mud, vegetation, and water crossings common toremote driving conditions. By your participation, youvoluntarily assume full responsibility for these damages,risks, and dangers. Take care at all times to protect yourselfand those under your responsibility. Much of the Bridgeport and Carson Districts are remote.Medical assistance may not be readily available. Cellulartelephones do not work in many areas of the Bridgeportand Carson Districts. Take adequate food, water, first-aidsupplies, and other equipment appropriate for theconditions and expected weather.

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO RESPECT PRIVATE LAND!PROTECT YOUR PRIVILEGE. STAY ON DESIGNATEDROADS AND TRAILS AND IN DESIGNATED AREAS. Read and understand this map in its entirety. If you havequestions please contact the Bridgeport and CarsonDistricts for clarification.

PROHIBITIONSIt Is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle onNational Forest System lands on the Bridgeport andCarson Districts other than in accordance with thesedesignations (36 CFR 261.13). Violators of 36 CFR 261.13 are subject to a fine of up to$5,000, imprisonment for up to 6 months, or both (18 U.S.C.3571(e)). This prohibition applies regardless of the presenceor absence of signs. This map does not display nonmotorized uses, over-snow uses, or other facilities and attractions on theBridgeport and Carson Districts. Obtain forest visitorinformation from the local national forest office. Designated roads, trails, and areas may also be subjectto temporary, emergency closures. As a visitor, you mustcomply with signs notifying you of such restrictions. Anational forest may issue an order to close a road, trail, orarea on a temporary basis to protect the life, health or safetyof forest visitors or the natural or cultural resources in theseareas.
