PURPOSE AND CONTENTS

OF THIS MAP

 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 Mount Taylor Ranger District of

the Cibola National Forest 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.

 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MVUM; and will remain in effect until superseded by the

next year's MVUM.

PROHIBITIONS

 It is prohibited to possess or operate a motor vehicle

on National Forest System lands on the Mount Taylor

Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest 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, oversnow uses, or other facilities and attractions on the Mount

Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest.

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 inquestion.

 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 Mount Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola

National Forest is remote. Medical assistance may not be

readily available. Cellular telephones do not work in many

areas of the Mount Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola

National Forest. 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 Mount Taylor Ranger

District of the Cibola National Forest 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.
