Abstract

Excerpt from the Introduction: The land grants of New Mexico have long been the subject of considerable interest on the part of lawyers, livestock and lumber companies, governmental agencies, and the native resident owners and users. These grants, ranging in size from a few thousand to ever a million acres were originally made by the Spanish Crown and the Government of Mexico. By the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 the United States agreed to recognize and protect the titles to these grants. The inadequacies of the supporting documents and the absence of careful surveys resulted in long drawn-out litigation before titles to most of the grants were confirmed. The following pages contain the information gathered on four land grants: The Canyon de San Diego Grant which was lost to its original community owners through litigation and sale marked by certain peculiarities; the Jacona Grant which was lost and repurchased and is now commonly owned and used; the Cundiyo Grant which is community owned and used; and the La Joya Grant which was lost by its community owners in a tax sale to Thomas D. Campbell early in 1937.
