Forest Supervisor, Carson National Forest

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effect until superceded by next year's MVUM.

It is the responsibility of the user to acquire the

current MVUM.This MVUM shows the National Forest

System roads, National Forest System trails, and the

areas on National Forest System lands in the Questa

Ranger District that are designated for motor vehicle

use pursuant to 36 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.

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 highclearance vehicles or four-wheel-drive vehicles.

Maintenance of designated roads and trails will depend

on available resources, and many may receive little

maintenance.

These designations apply only to National Forest

System roads, National Forest System trails, and

areas on National Forest System lands.

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.

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 Questa Ranger District is remote.

Medical assistance may not be readily available.

Cellular telephones do not work in many areas of the

Questa 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 Questa 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.

PROHIBITIONS

It is prohibited to possess or operate a motor

vehicle on National Forest System lands on the

Questa Ranger District 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

(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 Questa 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).

The designation "road or trail open to all motor

vehicles" does not supersede State traffic law.
