Fig. 3.— Diagrammatic tenure map of an area in northwestern New Mexico. 
This portion of the tenure map shows: 
1. The characteristics of the Spanish land grants. 
2. The effects of a checkerboard arrangement of national forest and railroad grant lands. 
3. The effects of the sale of railroad lands to private individuals (black) or corporations (American 
Lumber Co. holdings). 
4. The effect of surrender of railroad lands for lieu land scrip, as shown in the white areas within 
the primary and secondary grant limits at the upper right-hand corner. 
The distribution of the public lands, open for entry, is characteristic for any railroad land-grant area 
where the land is of low productivity. 
Each of the small squares into which the map is divided represents one section of approximately 6i0 
acres.
