BLANKET STATEMENTS FOR TRAVEL MANAGEMENT

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.

All routes with a seasonal designation are open from

05/22 to 09/07.

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).

All roads within the Toadstool and Soldier Creek Camp

Grounds are open to street legal vehicles year round. North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83)

Universal Transverse Mercator, zone 13 FS-873-020702-2

PROHIBITIONS

It Is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle

on National Forest System lands on the Oglala National

Grassland other than in accordance with these

designations (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

(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 Oglala

National Grassland. 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.

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 Oglala National Grassland is remote.

Medical assistance may not be readily available. Cellular

telephones do not work in many areas of the Oglala

national Grassland. 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 Pine Ridge 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 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 Oglala National Grassland 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 routes 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.

EXPLANATION OF LEGEND

ITEMS

Roads Open to All Vehicles:

These roads are open to all motor vehicles, including smaller

off-highway vehicles that may not be licensed for highway

use (but not to oversize or overweight vehicles under State

traffic law).

Dispersed Camping/Game Retrieval:

This symbol is used along with a designated road or trail

to indicate limited cross-country motor vehicle use within

a specific distance of that route, solely for the purpose

of dispersed camping and/or game retrieval. The dots

indicate where this activity is permitted. They may be on

the left, right, or both sides of the route. Refer to the

Dispersed Camping/Game Retrieval Table for specifics.

! ! !

! ! !

Short Route Identifier:

This symbol is used for roads that are too short to show a

symbol type on the map. The symbol contains the number

of the road or trail. Users should refer to the corresponding

number in the Short Route Table for designation information.

70333

Milepost Marker:

This symbol is used to display the beginning and ending

mileposts of a road that has a change in the designation

but not the symbology.

#

Seasonal Designation:

This symbol, used in conjunction with one of the other road or

trail symbols, indicates that the road or trail is open only during

certain portions of the year. Refer to Blanket Statements for further

instructions.

Other Public Roads:

These symbols are used to show routes the Forest Service

does not have jurisdiction over and has not designated for

motorized use. These symbols are part of the reference layers

showing connections to towns and cities outside the forest

boundary.

Highways, U.S., State

Other Public Roads

Motor vehicle use off of designated roads for the

purpose of dispersed camping and/or game

retrieval is permitted for up to 300 feet from the

centerline of the road allowing the same vehicles

as the road allows and the same season as the road

is open. This applies to the following Forest Service

roads:
