Landmarks along Route 66

Route 66 in the form of the New Mexico flag. From the State of New Mexico: it is a modern interpretation of an ancient symbol of a sun design as seen on a late 19th century water jar from Zia Pueblo. The red sun symbol was called a “Zia” and is shown on a field of yellow. This distinctive design reflects the pueblo’s tribal philosophy, with its wealth of pantheistic spiritualism teaching the basic harmony of all things in the universe. Four is the sacred number of Zia, and the figure is composed of a circle from which four points radiate.
