Marker Text: These designs are examples of Native American

maps. Perhaps they marked tribal ownership or represented personal
power.
Reconstruction was necessary to repair damage done by vandals.
Altering designs by any means will ruin them and is a violation of
law. Please help protect petroglyphs.
