United States Department of Agriculture 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 of this

MVUM; and will remain in effect until superceded by the

next year’s MVUM

This MVUM shows the National Forest System roads and

National Forest System trails on National Forest System

lands on the Sandia Ranger District, Cibola National

Forest 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 any

seasonal restrictions that may apply on those routes.

 Designation of a road or trail 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 to

imply that the road or trail 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. 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 and

trails 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.

PROHIBITIONS

 It Is prohibited to possess or operate a motor

vehicle on National Forest System lands on the

Sandia Ranger District, Cibola National Forest other

than in accordance with these designations

(36 CFR 261.13).

 This map does not display nonmotorized uses, oversnow uses, or other facilities and attractions on the

Sandia Ranger District, Cibola National Forest. Obtain

forest visitor information from the local National Forest

Office.

 Designated roads and trails may also be subject to

temporary, emergency closures, and visitors must

comply with signs notifying them of such restrictions. A

national forest may issue an order to close a road or

trail on a temporary basis to protect the life, health or

safety of forest visitors or natural or cultural resources.

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.

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 the motor vehicle

operators know and follow all applicable traffic laws, but

they 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. Operators of motor

vehicles are 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. Riders

should drive cautiously and anticipate rough surfaces

and features, such as snow, mud, vegetation, and water

crossings common to remote driving conditions.

Participants voluntarily assume full responsibility for

these damages, risks, and dangers. Motor vehicle

operators should take care at all times to protect

themselves and those under their responsibility.

 Much of the Sandia Ranger District, Cibola National

Forest is remote, and medical assistance may not be

readily available. Cellular telephones do not work in

many areas of the Sandia Ranger District, Cibola

National Forest. Operators should 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 Sandia Ranger

District, Cibola National Forest for clarification.

 Road and trail users must comply with this map, as

well as all Federal, State, and local laws and regulations.

Compliance with these rules is the responsibility of the

user.
