Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM)
Please follow the links on this page to download digital versions of the MVUMs or contact your local Forest Service office to obtain paper copies of the map, free of charge.
MVUMs
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.
It is your responsibility to reference the MVUM to stay on designated routes for motor vehicle use. Information on Travel Management direction and Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) programs should be obtained by contacting the forest directly.
Direct Links to Motor Vehicle Use Maps Available for the Forest
Our digital maps are available to download as geospatial PDFs for viewing and/or use in any GPS-enabled mobile application, or directly from the Avenza Maps online map store. For the best user experience, use our MVUMs within a GPS-enabled mobile app such as Avenza Maps. (USDA Forest Service maintains a partnership with Avenza Systems, Inc., to offer Forest Service maps on the Avenza Maps platform but its usage is not required to download or view these MVUMs.)
A Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) is a legal document required under the Travel Management Rule. The Motor Vehicle Use Maps are free maps available at any of the Modoc National Forest offices or can be downloaded from the list above. These 2-sided maps show the roads and trails for each district on the Modoc National Forest that are designated open for motor vehicle use. The Motor Vehicle Use Map also displays uses allowed by vehicle class (highway-legal vehicles, vehicles less than 50 inches wide and motorcycles) and seasonal allowances. The Motor Vehicle Use Map provides information on other travel rules and regulations. Routes not shown on the Motor Vehicle Use Map 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 Motor Vehicle Use Map.
The Motor Vehicle Use Map is a black and white map with no topographic features. It is best used in conjunction with a Forest Visitor Map or other topographic map.
