1952 Map of Tome NE

About this map

The Tome Grant lands stretch across this 1952 topographic study, revealing a transition from the lower plains toward the high peaks of the Manzano Mountains. This high-desert landscape is defined by its water sources and historical boundaries, featuring numerous natural springs such as Ojo Alamo, Ojo Huelos, and Ojo Lemita. These springs and several widely spaced Windmill sites provided the vital infrastructure for ranching and settlement in a region where the terrain is carved by drainage systems like Comanche Draw and Cañada Ancha.
