"Forest Service policy as stated in FSH 7109.14 requires that derogatory geographic names be removed from agency maps and signs. This letter is a follow up to our May 4, 2004, 7140-6 letter reminding line officers of this obligation. 

The Pacific Southwest Region policy on geographic names in relation to maps, signs, markers and administrative use of names is that the name “squaw” is derogatory. That name is to be removed from all markers, signs, and maps and will not be used administratively."
