About this map

The Town of Alameda Grant defines the southern half of this landscape, showing the persistent influence of Spanish land grants on New Mexico's mid-century geography. In the early 1950s, this area of Sandoval County was characterized by arid land management, featuring a long Aqueduct and a Pipe Line cutting through the terrain to service isolated Water Tanks. The topography is dominated by dry washes, most notably the winding Arroyo de las Calabacillas and Arroyo de los Montoyas. Human presence is marked by livestock infrastructure like Centipede Well and the aptly named Mentira Well (Dry). The map records a series of surveyor markers along the Grant Boundary, illustrating the precise delineation of these historical land tracts as they were managed by the Department of the Interior during this era.
