The MVUM Displays:

• National Forest System (NFS) roads, trails, or areas designated open to motorized travel.
• Allowed uses by vehicle class (ex. highway-legal vehicles, vehicles 50 inches or less in width and motorcycles), and
• seasonal allowances

Routes not shown on the MVUM are not open to public motor vehicle travel. Routes designated for motorized use may not always be signed on the ground but will be identified on the MVUM. It will be the public’s responsibility to reference the MVUM to stay on designated roads, trails, and areas open to motor vehicle use.

The MVUM will be updated annually, in March, to correct mapping errors and update travel decisions.

The MVUM is a black and white map with no topographic features. It is a map for legal designations of where you can travel with various motorized vehicles, but for additional reference it is best used in conjunction with other detailed maps. The MVUM is free to the public at each local offices.  The MVUM is available on this website and sections of it may be printed from your home computer.

A quadrangle map location diagram for quad maps is available here.

"Topographic Maps" provide the greatest level of detail and only cover small portions of a forest. The maps are available for download or purchase from the US Geological Survey website.

These maps are at a scale of 2.64 inches equals 1 mile and are in a 7 ½’ latitude by 7 ½’ longitude quadrangle format. They were derived from the U.S. Geological Survey Topographic Quadrangles, are highly detailed, and serve as the base for all other Huron-Manistee National Forests maps. Topography is shown with a contour interval of 10 or 20 feet or 5 meters.

Topographical maps show topography of an area, boundaries between private and federal land, most roads and trails, and all water systems.  For a map that shows the most up-to-date road and motorized trail information see the information on obtaining a Motor Vehicle Use Map.
