There are a wide variety of apps available to download that are up to date and show accurate information regarding trails, land ownership (public/private), and allow you to filter trails by vehicle width (ATV vs. SxS) and type of trails (dirt, gravel, paved, etc.). Many also offer offline maps for when you need assistance and do not have service.
Some apps offer a free version, while others (especially for use of more advanced features) require a subscription.
