NPS - U.S. National Park Service

The complete symbol set is made up of more than 250 symbols with a wide range of messages and meanings. According to the U.S. National Park Service website NPS symbols are free and in the public domain. They derive from Ultimate Symbol Collection, a commercial product that offers hundreds of additional symbols. While many pictograms/symbols available seem to be well comprehensible, some are less known and need to be explained.

Below a small selection of pictograms of the U.S. National Park Service from the November 2018, the February 2021, and August 2022 updates. The assignment to certain categories is not always consistent and for some symbols changed from time to time.
