 Designated roads, trails and areas may also be subjectto temporary, emergency closures. As a visitor, you mustcomply with signs notifying you of such restrictions. Anational forest may issue an order to close a road, trail orarea on a temporary basis to protect the life, health, orsafety of forest visitors or the natural or cultural resourcesin these areas. Such a temporary and/or emergencyclosures 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 motorvehicles" does not supersede State traffic law.

PURPOSE AND CONTENTS

OF THIS MAP

 This motor vehicle use map identifies those roads, trails,and areas designated for the motor vehicle use under 36CFR 212.51 for the purpose of enforcing the prohibition at36 CFR 261.13. This is a limited purpose. The other publicroads are shown for information and navigation purposesonly and are not subject to designation under the ForestService travel management regulation.

 These designations apply only to National ForestSystem roads, National Forest System trails, and areason National Forest System lands. The designations shown on this motor vehicle use mapare effective as of the date on the front cover and willremain in effect until superseded by the next year's motorvehicle use map. It is the responsibility of the user toacquire the current MVUM.This map shows the NationalForest System roads, National Forest System trails, andthe areas on National Forest System lands in the CusterNational Forest that are designated for motor vehicle usepursuant 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 oneach route and in each area; and any seasonal restrictionsthat apply on those routes and in those areas.

 Designation of a road, trail, or area for motor vehicleuse by a particular class of vehicle under 36 CFR 212.51should not be interpreted as encouraging or inviting use orimplying that the road, trail or area is passable, activelymaintained, or safe for travel. Motor vehicle designationsinclude parking along designated routes and at facilitiesassociated with designated routes when it is safe to do soand when not causing damage to National Forest Systemresources. Seasonal weather conditions and naturalevents may render designated routes and trailsimpassable for extended periods. Designated areas maycontain dangerous or impassable terrain. Many designatedroads and trails may be passable only by high-clearancevehicles or four-wheel-drive vehicles. Maintenance ofdesignated roads and trails will depend on availabl

e

resources, and many may receive little maintenance.
