PURPOSE AND CONTENTS OF THIS MAP

Designation of a road, trail, or area for motor vehicle use by aparticular class of vehicle under 36 CFR 212.51 should not beinterpreted as encouraging or inviting use, or to imply that the road,trail, or area is passable, actively maintained, or safe for travel. Motorvehicle designations include parking along designated routes and atfacilities associated with designated routes when it is safe to do soand when not causing damage to National Forest System resources.Seasonal weather conditions and natural events may renderdesignated roads and trails impassable for extended periods.Designated areas may contain dangerous or impassable terrain. Manydesignated roads and trails may be passable only by high-clearancevehicles or four-wheel drive vehicles. Maintenance of designated roadsand trails will depend on available resources, and many may receivelittle maintenance. This motor vehicle use map identifies those roads, trails, andareas designated for the motor vehicle use under 36 CFR 212.51 forthe purpose of enforcing the prohibition at 36 CFR 261.13. This is alimited purpose. The other public roads are shown for informationand navigation purposes only and are not subject to designationunder the Forest Service travel management regulation.

It is the responsibility of the user to aquire the current MVUM.ThisMVUM shows the National Forest System roads, National ForestSystem trails, and the areas on National Forest System lands in theKisatchie National Forest that are designated for motor vehicle usepursuant to 36 CFR 212.51. This MVUM also identifies the vehiclesclasses allowed on each route and in each area and any seasonalrestrictions that apply on those routes and in those areas.

The designations shown on this motor vehicle use map (MVUM) weremade by the responsible official pursuant to 36 CFR 212.51; areeffective as of the date of this MVUM; and will remain in effect untilsuperseded by the next year's MVUM.

Designated roads, trails, and areas may also be subject totemporary, emergency closures, and visitors must comply with signsnotifying them of such restrictions. A national forest may issue anorder to close a road, trail, or area on a temporary basis to protectthe life, health or safety of forest visitors or the natural or culturalresources in these areas. Such a temporary and/or emergencyclosures are consistent with the Travel Management Rule (36 CFR212.52 (b); 36 CFR 261 subpart B).

Participants voluntarily assume full responsibility forthese damages, risks, and dangers. Motor vehicle operators shouldtake care at all times to protect themselves and those under theirresponsibility. Much of the Kisatchie National Forest is remote, and medicalassistance may not be readily available. Cellular telephones do notwork in many areas of the Kisatchie National Forest. Operators shouldtake adequate food, water, first aid supplies, and other equipmentappropriate for the conditions and expected weather. ALWAYS REMEMBER TO RESPECT PRIVATE LAND! PROTECTYOUR PRIVILEGE.

Under no circumstances may a second vehicle be used to retrieve theanimal. 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 thewillingness of others to walk to and from the downed animal.
