Fig. 4.— Diagrammatic tenure map of an area in northwestern New Mexico. 



This portion of the tenure map shows: 



1. The characteristic distribution of Indian reservations. 



2. The area and distribution of Indian allotments. 



3. The effects of the purchase of railroad lands by private individuals and corporations and the 



selection of the even-numbered sections by the State. 



In much of the area the Government land (white) is shown to be that which determines the character 

 of control possible. 



Each of the small squares into which the map is divided represents one section of approximately 640 

 acres.
