About this map

The Isleta Pueblo Indian Reservation occupies much of this high desert landscape, characterized by complex land tenure dating back to early Spanish grants. The terrain is divided into historic territories including the Lo De Padilla Grant, the Juan Otero Grant, and the Tome Grant, reflecting the deep colonial and indigenous history of Valencia County. A specific northern section is designated as the Lo De Padilla Grant (Peralta Tract), while surveying markers such as the Pueblo Grant Bdy delineate these ancestral and administrative boundaries.

Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, with Maes Spring and Carrizo Spring appearing as vital natural features alongside several dispersed wells. While much of the area remains open rangeland, local community activity is centered around facilities like the Athletic Field, providing a clear view of the localized development occurring within these historic grant lands during the late twentieth century.
