Motorized Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM)

A Motorized Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) is a legal document that shows which roads and trails are open to public motor vehicle use. If a road or trail does not appear on the map, it means that it is not open to public motor vehicular use.

The MVUM is a black and white map with no topographic features. It is best used with a Forest Visitor Map or other detailed map. The MVUM will be updated as needed to correct mapping errors or discrepancies and update travel decisions.

If you plan on camping, driving off-highway vehicles, hunting, or exploring the backcountry; please make sure you review the appropriate MVUM to know which routes are open to motor vehicle use. For more information, please visit MVUM Frequently Asked Questions and KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!

Due to changes to the Avenza Map Store, some updated Forest Service GeoPDFs (PDF maps enabled for navigation in certain mobile apps) such as motor vehicle use and over snow vehicle maps (MVUM, OSVUM) may no longer be available through Avenza and are instead provided for download directly through Forest Service websites.

To find an app to view these maps, search your app store for terms such as “GeoPDF,” “geospatial PDF,” “offline PDF maps,” or “GPS PDF maps.” The Forest Service provides the map files but does not endorse or provide support for third-party applications.
