SUMMARY:

This notice issues the official trail marker insignia of the Santa Fe National Historic Trail. The original graphic image was developed as part of the Trail's comprehensive management and use plan and published in the Federal Register May 6, 1989. The National Park Service has officially used this insignia—and subsequent variations—since completion of planning documents for the Trail in 1990. It has been slightly redesigned since then so that lettering and framing match other National Trail System markers. The earlier designs which are still in use along the Trail are also protected from unauthorized uses by this notice. This publication accomplishes the official designation of the insignia now in use by the National Park Service.
