PROHIBITIONS

 It Is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle

on National Forest System lands on the PETERSBURG

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

PETERSBURG 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 temporary and/or emergency closures are

consistent with the Travel Management Rule (36 CFR

212.52 (b), 36 CFR 261 subpart B).

 The designation "road or trail open to all motor vehicles"

does not supersede State traffic law.

12 20 01 JAN Alaska

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 PETERSBURG RANGER DISTRICT is

remote. Medical assistance may not be readily available.

Cellular telephones do not work in many areas of the

PETERSBURG 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 PETERSBURG RANGER

DISTRICT for clarification.

 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.

PURPOSE AND CONTENTS

OF THIS MAP

The designations shown on this motor vehicle use map are

effective as of the date on the front cover and will remain in

effect until superseded by the next year's motor vehicle use

map. It is the responsibility of the user to acquire the current

MVUM. This map shows the National Forest System roads,

National Forest System trails, and the areas on National

Forest System lands in the PETERSBURG 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.

 These designations apply only to National Forest

System roads, National Forest System trails, and areas

on National Forest System lands.
