On March 2, 2007, Forest Supervisor Jeff Bailey signed a Decision Memo
issuing a Forest Order which prohibits cross country motorized vehicle use.
This Order limits the use of motorized wheeled vehicles to the existing routes
and open area shown on the attached Exhibit A maps. This Order does not
close existing routes and does not designate a Forest Transportation system.
The purpose is to keep use on existing routes, prohibit cross-country travel
with motorized vehicles, and prevent resource damage and the creation of new
routes while completing the Route Designation Process. It will remain in effect
for one year and will be extended, if necessary, until the completion of the
Route Designation process.

Exhibit A Maps
These files are very large image files and may require frustratingly long
download times. We highly recommend obtaining a paper copy from one of our Visitor Centers in
the Eastern Sierra. These maps have only limited geographic reference points,
and are best used in conjunction with topographic or recreational maps of the
areas you are visiting.
