This applies to the following Forest Service roads: Roads: 201, 202, 203, 209, 211, 212N, 212S, 213, 214, 216, 223, 224, 225, 228, 231, 259, 261, 263, 277 100°15'0"W 100°15'0"W 100°22'30"W 100°22'30"W 100°30'0"W 100°30'0"W 42°0'0"N 42°0'0"N 41°52'30"N 41°52'30"N 41°45'0"N 41°45'0"N 870000 870000 880000 880000 890000 890000 900000 900000 4630000 4630000 4640000 4640000 4650000 4650000 4660000 4660000 BLANKET STATEMENTS FOR TRAVEL MANAGEMENT The Dismal Off-Road Area and the Hill Climb Travel Management Areas are open to all motorized vehicles, within the fenced area, year round. All routes with a seasonal designation are open from 12/01 to 08/31 When a big game animal has been legally taken, the individual who legally took the animal may drive or be driven to the downed animal. Under no circumstances may a second vehicle be used to retrieve the animal. The vehicle driven to the animal should be of sufficient capacity that only one trip is necessary. The number of individuals who participate in the retrieval is limited only by the vehicle’s capacity, and the willingness of others to walk to and from the downed animal. The vehicle used to retrieve the game may be operated off the route up to the distance specified on the MVUM. If the downed game is further than the allowed distance, the vehicle may be driven only the specified distance from the designated route. Motor vehicles may be parked up to 30 feet from the edge of the road surface when it is safe to do so without causing damage to NFS resources or facilities, unless prohibited by state law, a traffic sign or an order (36 CFR261.54). The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual orientation, genetic information, political beliefs, reprisal, or because all or part of an individual's income is derived from any public assistance program. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA's TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD). To file a complaint of discrimination, write to USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250- 9410, or call (800) 795-3272 (voice) or (202) 720-6382 (TDD).

PURPOSE AND CONTENTS OF THIS MAP The designations shown on this map are effective as of the date stamped or printed on the front cover. This map shows the National Forest System roads, National Forest System trails, and the areas on National Forest System lands in the Bessey Ranger District that are designated for motor vehicle use pursuant to 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 212.51. This map also contains a list of those designated roads, trails, and areas; the types of vehicles that are allowed on each route and in each area; and any seasonal restrictions that apply on those routes and in those areas. Designation of a road, trail, or area for motor vehicle use by a particular class of vehicle under 36 CFR 212.51 should not be interpreted as encouraging or inviting use or implying that the road, trail, or area is passable, actively maintained, or safe for travel. Motor vehicle designations include parking along designated routes and at facilities associated with designated routes when it is safe to do so and when not causing damage to National Forest System resources. Seasonal weather conditions and natural events may render designated roads and trails impassable for extended periods. Designated areas may contain dangerous or impassable terrain. Many designated roads and trails may be passable only by high-clearance vehicles or four-wheel-drive vehicles. Maintenance of designated roads and trails will depend on available resources, and many may receive little maintenance. This motor vehicle use map identifies those roads, trails, and areas designated for the motor vehicle use under 36 CFR 212.51 for the purpose of enforcing the prohibition at 36 CFR 261.13. This is a limited purpose. The other public roads are shown for information and navigation purposes only and are not subject to designation under the Forest Service travel management regulation. Use Map Motor Vehicle National Forest Nebraska America's Great Outdoors Nebraska 2010 Forest Service United States Department of Agriculture The designation "road or trail open to all motor vehicles" does not supersede State traffic law. PROHIBITIONS It Is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle on National Forest System lands on the Bessey Ranger District other than in accordance with these designations (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 presence or absence of signs. This map does not display nonmotorized uses, over-snow uses, or other facilities and attractions on the Bessey Ranger District. Obtain forest visitor information from the local national forest office. Designated roads, trails, and areas may also be subject to temporary, emergency closures. As a visitor, you must comply with signs notifying you of such restrictions. A national forest may issue an order to close a road, trail, or area on a temporary basis to protect the life, health or safety of forest visitors or the natural or cultural resources in these areas. Such a temporary and/or emergency closures are consistent with the Travel Management Rule (36 CFR 212.52 (b), 36 CFR 261 subpart B). As a motor vehicle operator on a National Forest System road, trail, or area, you must comply with this map, as well as all Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. Compliance with these rules is your responsibility. OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES Operating a motor vehicle on National Forest System roads, National Forest System trails, and in areas on National Forest System lands carries a greater responsibility than operating that vehicle in a city or other developed setting. Not only must you know and follow all applicable traffic laws, you need to show concern for the environment as well as other forest users. The misuse of motor vehicles can lead to the temporary or permanent closure of any designated road, trail, or area. As a motor vehicle operator, you are also subject to State traffic law, including State requirements for licensing, registration, and operation 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. Drive cautiously and anticipate rough surfaces and features, such as snow, mud, vegetation, and water crossings common to remote driving conditions. By your participation, you voluntarily assume full responsibility for these damages, risks, and dangers. Take care at all times to protect yourself and those under your responsibility. Much of the Bessey Ranger District is remote. Medical assistance may not be readily available. Cellular telephones do not work in many areas of the Bessey Ranger District. Take adequate food, water, first-aid supplies, and other equipment appropriate for the conditions and expected weather. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO RESPECT PRIVATE LAND! PROTECT YOUR PRIVILEGE. STAY ON DESIGNATED ROADS AND TRAILS AND IN DESIGNATED AREAS. Read and understand this map in its entirety. If you have questions please contact the Bessey Ranger District for clarification.

PURPOSE AND CONTENTS OF THIS MAPThe designations shown on this map are effective as of thedate stamped or printed on the front cover. This map showsthe National Forest System roads, National Forest Systemtrails, and the areas on National Forest System lands in theBessey Ranger District that are designated for motor vehicleuse pursuant to 36 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)212.51. This map also contains a list of those designatedroads, trails, and areas; the types of vehicles that are allowedon each route and in each area; and any seasonal restrictionsthat apply on those routes and in those areas.

Designation of a road, trail, or area for motor vehicle useby a particular class of vehicle under 36 CFR 212.51 shouldnot be interpreted as encouraging or inviting use or implyingthat the road, trail, or area is passable, actively maintained, orsafe for travel. Motor vehicle designations include parkingalong designated routes and at facilities associated withdesignated routes when it is safe to do so and when notcausing damage to National Forest System resources.Seasonal weather conditions and natural events may renderdesignated roads and trails impassable for extended periods.Designated areas may contain dangerous or impassableterrain. Many designated roads and trails may be passableonly by high-clearance vehicles or four-wheel-drive vehicles.Maintenance of designated roads and trails will depend onavailable resources, and many may receive littlemaintenance. This motor vehicle use map identifies those roads, trails,and areas designated for the motor vehicle use under 36CFR 212.51 for the purpose of enforcing the prohibition at 36CFR 261.13. This is a limited purpose. The other public roadsare shown for information and navigation purposes only andare not subject to designation under the Forest Service travelmanagement regulation.
