Motorized use (i.e., cars, trucks, dirt bikes, side-by-sides, ATVs, OHVs, etc.) can only drive on certain roads. The Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUMs) show where you can and cannot take a motorized vehicle. They show where you can legally drive, take your motorcycles, ATVs or UTVs and where you can disperse camp (aka road-side camp).
