About this map

Tome Grant and the neighboring Casa Colorada Grant define the complex jurisdictional landscape of Valencia County in this 1991 revision. The eastern reaches of the sheet rise sharply into the Manzano Mountains, where the boundaries of the Cibola National Forest and the Manzano Mountain Wilderness converge. This survey preserves the spatial relationship between historic Spanish land grants and modern conservation areas.

Water management in this arid terrain is reflected by the placement of isolated features such as North Well, Mountain Well, and a Water Tank near the western slopes. A prominent Pipeline cuts across the southwestern corner, contrasting with the ancient boundaries of the Belen Grant. The map provides a precise record of these intersecting property lines and physical landmarks as they stood in the late twentieth century.
