This collection of maps cover 127 quadrangles across 6 ranger districts: Quemado, Reserve, Glenwood, Wilderness, Black Range, and Silver City. The approximately 3.3 million acre Gila National Forest lies in southwestern New Mexico providing diverse landscapes of rugged mountains, deep canyons, meadows, and semi-desert country with many recreational opportunities. Gila National Forest has a number of special places, including 3 wilderness areas, dark sky parks, catwalks, cave dwellings, the Continental Divide Trail and 2 scenic byways. Elevations range from 4,200 to 10,900 ft covering a wide range of landscapes. Because of this, environmental conditions on the forest can change rapidly. Forest users may be faced with safety factors with which they should be familiar with, before venturing out.\r\n\r\nMotorized Recreation\r\n\r\nExplore and enjoy the more remote areas of the national forest using your sport utility\/4-wheel drive vehicle, trail bike, or all-terrain vehicle (ATV).  Many unimproved (high-clearance) roads on the forest are open to off-highway vehicles (OHV). The key to responsible use is to remain on designated roads and trails. New Mexico law requires registration or DMV-issued license plates for all OHVs. It is illegal to cut switchbacks, take shortcuts, or travel cross-country. Roads closed to motorized use may or may not be blocked, signed, or gated. The Forest’s Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) displays roads, trails, and areas open to motorized use. Please pick up a current copy at any local Forest Service office or download from: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/goto\/r3\/mvum\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttp:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/goto\/r3\/mvum\u003c\/a\u003e\r\n\r\nMore Americans than ever are using OHVs to enjoy the outdoors.  However, if not managed carefully, motorized recreation can damage both the land and the resources that visitors come to enjoy.  In 2005, the Forest Service published the Travel Management Rule which requires each national forest and grassland to designate those National Forest System (NFS) roads, NFS trails, and areas on NFS lands that are open to motor vehicle use on a motor vehicle use map (MVUM).  It is the visitor’s responsibility to obtain the current MVUM for that national forest or grassland and comply with the designations.","brand":"US Forest Service R3","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42243163586716,"sku":"1515173","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7850\/5884\/files\/20221220173500_20221220_113444_393705_GILA_019_Queens_Head_preview_0.jpg?v=1723693503","url":"https:\/\/store.avenza.com\/products\/gila-national-forest-quadrangle-map-pg-19-queens-head-us-forest-service-r3-map","provider":"Avenza Maps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
