The Custer National Forest, Sioux Ranger District Motor
Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM) are available to the public. The MVUM
is one part of implementing the decision made by the Forest Supervisor
regarding motorized travel on the Sioux Ranger District, along
with signing and an education program.
The MVUM indicates open or designated roads and motorized trails
available for public use, season of use as well as the type of
vehicles allowed. Cross-country travel is prohibited. The maps
are free of charge and are meant to be used as a companion to
the District visitor map.
The free maps are available at the Custer National Forest Supervisor’s
office at 1310 Main Street, Billings and at the Sioux Ranger District.

The Sioux Ranger District Record of Decision, Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS) and Executive Summary for Travel Management
are available for review.
The new travel management decision designates system roads and
trails for public motorized uses and specifies the type of vehicle
and season of use for each route. Motorized off-route travel would
be prohibited, except were designated for access to dispersed
vehicle camping. Over-snow vehicle use is not a part of this decision.
The action alternatives considered in the EIS represent a range
of public sentiment regarding road and trail management, and frame
the significant issues related to the decision to be made. The
alternative of taking no action is also considered. The preferred
alternative is Alternative B.
Public review and comment was solicited on the draft environmental
impact statement (DEIS), and was utilized in the preparation of
this FEIS. No further public review or public comment is being
sought on this FEIS.
Reviewers whom disagree with information presented in this FEIS
may appeal any decision based upon it. Decisions based upon this
FEIS are described in the Record of Decision. The decision is

and Appeal Procedures for National Forest System Projects and
Activities found at 36 CFR 215 (2003). Timeframes for the administrative
appeal period begin after publication of the legal notice in the
