shows the new county flag (since 2023.11.21-22).
The new flag shows the new logo and can be seen in local
official use at
https://www.studioswarch.com
It is ~3:5 white with the logo on it, sized so that the height of each of
the three squares, including the gap, is equal to half the flag’s height.
This logo was adopted in late December 2023, according to local news:
https://www.santafenewmexican.com.
It is made of three squares of different colors each bearing a white token of
local importance, suitably stylized — this news story names it stenciled. It
also indicates the colors as red, yellow, and turquoise, presumably
transcribing from an official description, although I’d call the latter teal
instead; the middle square is amber/golden, showing good contrast on the
white background, and the color shade for the left side square is dark, Old
Glory red.
The three elements depicted are:
on red - a vase of local
pottery, with a zigzag motif
on yellow - the front of a local building, in
traditional style
on turquoise - mountain peaks and a river
The lettering
below the three squares reads "Santa Fe" and "County", the latter in smaller
size and between under- and over-lines, all in heavy wide set brown serifless
capitals.
There seems to be at least one variant of this logo, shown at
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FEha3PCh0jk/maxresdefault.jpg, apparently standing
for the Santa Fe Trail historic route. I could find no details to confirm this.
This variant use consists of the same three squares, in the same colors, with
different white icons on them.

Santa Fe County, New Mexico, does indeed have a flag. It uses the triangular
logo on a white field.

This flag shows a version of the triangle logo with some significant
differences: Unlike on the logo, the lettering on the flag is in thin wide set
sans serif yet stroke-variable capitals; the image also shows color shade
differences in the wagon wheelset, clearly red, and on the shades of the ground
and of the walls, shown almost white.

There had been discussions about changing this logo (and, one presumes,
the flag bearing it) since at least mid 2017, but the new logo aired back
then, with stylized mountain and sun, was seemingly not picked up:
