PURPOSE AND CONTENTS

OF THIS MAP

The designations shown on this motor vehicle use map

(MVUM) were made by the responsible official pursuant to 36

CFR 212.51; are effective as of the date on the front cover of

this MVUM; and will remain in effect until superseded by next

year's MVUM.

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-wheeldrive 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.

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 Spring Mountains

National Recreation Area that are designated for motor

vehicle use pursuant to 36 Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR) 212.51. This MVUM also identifies the vehicle

classes allowed on each route and in each area; and

any seasonal restrictions that apply on those routes and

in those areas.

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 Spring Mountains National Recreation Area

is remote. Medical assistance may not be readily available.

Cellular telephones do not work in many areas of the

Spring Mountains National Recreation Area. 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 Spring Mountains National

Recreation Area for clarification.

PROHIBITIONS

It Is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle on

National Forest System lands on the Spring Mountains

National Recreation Area 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, oversnow uses, or other facilities and attractions on the Spring

Mountains National Recreation Area. 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).

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

does not supersede State traffic law.
