This is a vector polygon showing the Designated trail alignment of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail as depicted in the 1996 Comprehensive Management and Use Plan for the Anza Trail. The purpose of this feature service is to show the location of Designated trail alignment of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail. The intended use of all data in the trail GIS library is to support diverse trail administration activities including planning, management, maintenance, research, and interpretation.The 1,200-mile Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail commemorates the Spanish colonial Anza Expedition of 1775-76 and the first non-Native families to journey overland into California. Today, the Anza Trail connects historic, cultural, and recreation sites across Arizona and California that reveal a legacy of our country's Hispanic heritage. As a program of the National Park Service, the National Park Service administers the Anza Trail from the U.S. border at Nogales, Ariz., to the San Francisco Bay Area. The National Park Service does not own or manage any land or resources associated with the trail (except where the trail intersects with National Parks); rather, we work in partnership with federal, state, county, city, and other public agencies, as well as non-profit organizations, private landowners, volunteers, and others who maintain, build, certify, protect, and interpret the Anza Trail. |
