Introduction – Scope of the Project This report on the Coyote Creek State Park is rendered pursuant to a contract between the Center for Land Grant Studies (the Contractor) and the Commission of Public Records (the Agency), dated September 9, 2008. Paragraph 1 of the contract provides for a review by the Center for Land Grant Studies of each of seven abstracts to be provided by the Agency. After making a detailed review of the abstract the Contractor shall provide, “a synopsis of the chain of title, identification of any discrepancies or breaks in the chain of title, and a brief history of the land grant in which the State Park is located.” This report covers the findings concerning the Coyote Creek State Park (deliverable 1A1), within the Mora Land Grant and was written by Malcolm Ebright. As will be seen in the conclusion of this report, my examination of the abstract found no break in the chain of title from the first deed in the abstract in 1924 to the conveyances to the State Park in 1969 and 2004, but there was a gap between the privatization of the common lands in 1889, and the first deed in the abstract. The Miller Survey in 1912, a deed in 1919 from Emijidio Silva, and the deed into Abran Archuleta in 1922 are documents that help fill the gaps. We were able to locate these documents not included in the abstract and add them to Appendix A – Chain of Title of Coyote Creek State Park. With the addition of these documents (copies of which are attached to the abstract), there is a complete chain of title for the Coyote Creek State Park. Finding the documents that fill this gap has required a substantial amount of additional research in the Mora County Deed Books. I have also been able to fill the gap because I have lived in Guadalupita for over thirty-five years and have conducted historical research on a gradual basis over that time period. An additional factor making this report more difficult is that the overlapping of the Guadalupita grant with the Mora grant and the Gold v. Tafoya lawsuit all deal with the land in question making it necessary to study the Gold v. Tafoya lawsuit and the Guadalupita grant in addition to the Mora grant. It will be more difficult to provide such a complete record of findings for the other six abstracts, when the abstracts lack information on the connection between the land grant and the first deeds in the abstract. Nevertheless, I believe it will be possible 4 to provide an adequate history of the chains of title in the other abstracts, augmented by a history of the land grants. It would be helpful if the title companies who issued the abstracts would provide assistance in helping to fill these gaps. In the case of the Coyote Creek State Park abstract I met with Ed Crespín, title officer with Territorial Title of Las Vegas. We exchanged documents and information and agreed to continue to do so regarding the abstracts for Storrie Lake State Park, the New Mexico State Hospital abstract and any other abstract Territorial Title of Las Vegas issued that is on the list. I further agreed to provide him with copies of these reports after they have been submitted to the Agency. I was assisted by research assistant Carisa Williams Joseph, and Corinna LazloHenry, a law student at UNM School of Law who found many of the important documents during her research at the Mora County Court House. I would also like to thank Mora County Clerk Charlotte Duran, surveyor and map-maker Steve Hardin, former State Archivist Richard Salazar, and community members Teresa Griego Vigil, Clorinda Herrera Griego, Sylvia Ortega, and Munira Salazar, descendants of the first settlers of Guadalupita. 2. Early Settlement in the Mora Valley The Mora area was a place where Plains Indians (mostly Comanches and Jicarilla Apaches), congregated and built dwellings, accounting for the relatively late date of permanent Hispanic settlement in the area.1 Just as was true for the Taos Valley, it was not until after the 1779 defeat of the Comanche leader Cuerno Verde by Governor Juan Bautista de Anza and the 1786 Comanche Peace Treaty that settlement began to take hold in the Mora Valley. Settlement in the Mora Valley and perhaps the Guadalupita area as well, occurred by 1816 or before. In May and September of that year Father Juan Bruno Gonzales of Picurís baptized a boy and a girl respectively and in both cases one of the godparents was from “lo de Mora.”2 The presence of a large number of people in the Mora and possibly the Guadalupita areas is attested to by the 1818 petition to the Catholic Church by seventy-six heads of families requesting their own parish and a resident pastor for the new settlement known as San Antonio de lo de Mora. It is likely that these seventy-six heads of families settled gradually over several years prior to 1818 rather than arriving in a large body at one time. 3 5 Comanche and Apache raids throughout the Mexican Period (1821-1846) caused the temporary abandonment of the Mora and Guadalupita areas.4 Sometime prior to 1832 the Mora area was briefly abandoned, as noted by Albert Pike as he traveled through the Mora Valley, and the Guadalupita area was abandoned from around 1837 to 1851. 3. The Mora Grant In late September of 1835, New Mexico Governor Albino Perez, ordered Manuel Antonio Sanchez, the constitutional justice of San José de las Trampas near Taos to travel to the Mora Valley and place seventy-six settlers (coincidentally the same number of settlers who requested their own priest in 1818) in possession of lands along the Rio Agua Negro (the Mora River). The order by Governor Perez and the subsequent grant validating Justice Sanchez's actions have been missing from the archives, but we know they existed because Justice Sanchez noted in his act of possession that his actions were pursuant to an order by the jefe politico (governor) of New Mexico. Justice Sanchez established two plazas 150 by 200 varas (a vara is 33 inches) at Santa Gertrudis (Mora) and San Antonio (Cleveland). At Santa Gertrudis settlers received 5900 varas of agricultural land and at San Antonio 3610 varas of land were distributed. Most settlers received strips 100 varas wide, but the leading settler, Miguel Olguin, received a 250-vara strip at San Antonio facing the plaza (some settlers received 500 varas). Each community received a parcel of grazing land that was assigned to that community (like the Mora Vega), and the rest of the land within the grant was common to all the settlers living within the grant. The grant boundaries, established by Justice Sanchez were: north, the Rio Ocate; south, where the Rio Sapello empties into the Rio de Mora; east, the Aguaje de la Yegua, and west the Estillero.5 Locating some of these boundaries proved difficult and controversial (especially the Estillero), but when surveyed in 1861 the Mora Grant was found to contain 827,621 acres.6 6 Figure 1. The Mora Grant from Robert Shadow and Maria Rodríguez-Shadow “From Reparticíon to Partition.” Gradually, population expanded on the Mora grant as new communities were formed on or near the Mora grant: Golondrinas was settled around 1838, La Junta (Watrous) in 1842, and La Cueva was settled in 1844. At the time of the United States invasion of New Mexico in 1846 the Mora area had a population of almost 1,000 individuals.7 In 1847 U.S. troops attacked the Town of Mora to put down an uprising that was connected to the 1847 Taos Revolt. Much of the town was destroyed and it is said that the town’s archives were burned by the Americans. This could explain the loss of some of the documents connected with the Mora grant.8 Figure 2. Stacking hay on the Mora grant. 7 In 1851 Ft. Union was established, providing a market for produce, hay, and timber from the Mora Valley. U.S. troops stationed at the fort helped quell Indian raids and Mora area settlements proliferated in the 1850s and 1860’s: Agua Negra (Holman) in 1856, La Cebolla (Ledoux) in 1856, Monte Aplanado in 1867, and Cañada del Carro in 1868. Settlements also took root at Chupaderos in 1868, La Jara/Laguna in 186768, and on the eastern part of the grant, Ojo Feliz and Ciruela in 1869. In addition, five land grants, including the Guadalupita grant, overlapped the Mora grant and settlements occurred there as well. In the case of the Guadalupita grant, which will be discussed in more detail in the next section, settlements occurred at about the same time as the Mora grant. Then after a brief abandonment, the communities of Guadalupita, Coyote, and Lucero were established in the mid 1850s on the Guadalupita grant: The 1860 census for these communities enumerated 186 heads of families. Figure 3. Main street in Mora ca. 1900. As settlement on the Mora grant increased in the 1850s and 1860s, a process of confirmation, survey, and partition of the Mora grant by the U.S. government and by land grant speculators would eventually lead to loss of the common lands; as Stephen B. Elkins and Thomas B. Catron began purchasing interests in the common lands of the Mora grant. By the 1870s settlers began to realize that common lands that had not been settled and/or privatized would be lost. 8 Accordingly, an increased amount of privatization occurred on the Mora grant in the 1870s and 1880s. Communities would divide up certain parts of the common lands surrounding their communities among themselves. Thus large amounts of land at Golondrinas and Ocate were privatized in 1869, and the Guadalupita Canyon was divided in 1889 among members of that community. This is how the land that became Coyote Creek State Park was first privatized, as will be seen in the next section.9 After the Surveyor General of New Mexico was established in 1854 to process land grant claims, the Mora grant was an early submission. On June 20, 1859 José María Valdez and Vicente Romero filed a petition for confirmation of the Mora grant, attaching a copy of the act of possession by Manuel Antonio Sanchez as proof of the claim. Though the Mora claim was number 32 on the docket, one of the grants overlapping the Mora grant, the John Scolly grant, was filed earlier as claim number 9. Since the Scolly grant had already been approved by Surveyor General William Pelham, it was excepted from the claim for the Mora grant by the petitioners. Figure 4. Map showing John Scolly grant overlapping with Mora grant, from Malcolm Ebright, Land Grants and Lawsuits in Northern New Mexico. Surveyor General Pelham approved the Mora grant as well, less than a month after it was filed. The grant was confirmed over the objection by the U.S. that there was 9 no evidence that the grant had been made, since the petition and the granting decree were missing. However, the claimants’ witnesses testified they had seen the Mora grant signed by Governor Perez in the archives at Mora. One witness produced a receipt for a copy of the grant dated in 1836 and signed by the local official at Mora. Pelham recommended confirmation of the grant because it could be presumed that the Mexican government would only have allowed the occupation of the land if a grant had been made. After Congress approved Pelham’s recommendation the grant was formally confirmed in 1860, it was surveyed in 1861 by Deputy Surveyor Thomas Means. The Mora grant was found to contain 827,621 acres, excluding the portion of the John Scolly grant that conflicted with the Mora grant on its southern boundary. In later litigation between the Scolly grant, the Mora grant and the U.S. government, the size of the Scolly overlap was reduced from twenty-five leagues to five leagues thus increasing the size of the Mora grant to about 890,000 acres. A patent to the Mora grant was issued in 1876 excluding the land at Fort Union.10 Well before the issuance of the patent Catron and Elkins began buying interests in the grant. Elkins’ first purchase was in 1866 and soon residents of the Mora grant realized that speculators were buying the grant common lands from under them. In 1878 a petition was filed by 920 Mora residents asking Congress to reconsider the confirmation of the grant to the seventy-six original grantees because it opened the door for takeover by speculators, but it was too late. A year before in March of 1877 Stephen B. Elkins and Vicente Romero filed suit to partition the Mora grant. The purpose of the partition suit, an action unknown under Spanish law, was to segregate the common lands from private tracts. The speculators would receive the common lands and the rest would be assigned to individual owners. Because much of the common lands had been privatized in the 1880s and 1890s, such as the Golondrinas, Ocate, and Guadalupita lands mentioned earlier, the court had a difficult time identifying these private tracts. Eventually the court segregated the private tracts into two categories: the private tracts such as those allotted to individuals at Santa Gertudis and San Antonio when the Mora grant was first made and private tracts resulting from the later privatization of the common lands (these were called the community lands). The first kind of private lands were segregated when a party intervened in the partition suit on behalf of a community and a separate lawsuit determined the extent of 10 the private lands in that community. In the case of Guadalupita, Senobio Salazar, who became a state senator, intervened and the court segregated the Guadalupita tracts, which were found to contain 7837 acres. In the case of the other type of private lands “the community lands,” the court appointed a committee of prominent men in each community to issue deeds to the rightful owners of these lands. The lands that became the Coyote Creek State Park fell within the latter category. Deeds in Guadalupita Canyon would have been issued in accordance with the document that partitioned the Guadalupita Canyon to be discussed in the next section. The history of the Mora grant is quite complicated. From this brief summary it can be seen that to understand the history of tracts of land within the Mora grant, such as Coyote Creek State Park, it is necessary to examine the grant documents, the deed books and Juez de Paz books at Mora, the records of overlapping grants like Guadalupita, maps and surveys such as the Miller survey of 1912, and research by scholars like Robert Shadow and Maria Rodríguez Shadow. The Shadows spent a summer analyzing the Mora deed books and Juez de Paz books, summarizing their research in the New Mexico Historical Review article cited in the bibliography. Figure 5. Photo of Senobio Salazar, most likely the man at the head of the table. 11 Figure 6. Santa Gertrudis Church. Mora, October 22, 1938, from Malcolm Ebright, ed., Spanish and Mexican Land Grants and the Law. The Shadows’ article went a long way toward untangling the twisted web of the Mora grant by establishing the factors that determined how the fragmentation and privatization of the common lands occurred. Those factors were 1) the speculators like Catron and Elkins who purchased the common lands that had not been privatized, 2) the grants within grants like Guadalupita, and 3) the deeds to privatized common lands called hijuelas. The Coyote Creek State Park land involves both factors 2 and 3 above. 4. The Guadalupita Grant Settlement of the community of Guadalupita and its common lands where the Coyote Creek State Park is located, is closely tied to the settlement of the Mora land grant. Settlement of the Guadalupita grant began on February 20, 1837, when a petition by three residents of Taos Pedro Antonio Gallegos, José María Silva, and Miguel Silva asked for land in the valley of Guadalupita on the Coyote River within the Mora 12 grant. The petitioners were asking for a community grant for themselves and a group of individuals who were listed on a separate document; unfortunately that document did not survive. The Guadalupita petition was directed to the alcalde and the ayuntamiento of las Trampas de Nuestro Padre San José. Some historians have assumed that this refers to the Las Trampas we are familiar with as the principal settlement on the Las Trampas land grant, but other evidence points to a settlement near Ranchos de Taos as the source of the first Guadalupita settlers. The main concern of the petitioners was the shortage of water to irrigate their crops in the Taos area.11 The Guadalupita petitioners approached the principal settlers on the Mora grant and received their approval for a new grant within the boundaries of the Mora grant. Alcalde Juan Nepomuceno Trujillo notified the group of colonists to present themselves at the land on April 7, 1837 so that they could be placed in possession of the Guadalupita land grant. At this point there is an end to the documentation, of the Guadalupita grant, but testimony in an 1866 water rights lawsuit Gold v. Tafoya partially fills in the gap in the early history of Guadalupita and the land where Coyote Creek State Park is located.12 The 1866 lawsuit of George Gold v. Felipe Tafoya shed some needed light on the first thirty years of the Guadalupita land grant though most of the issues were contested. But most agree that the list of 80 settlers filed with the 1866 lawsuit of Gold v. Tafoya represents those receiving land in 1851 when the Guadalupita grant was resettled (see Appendix B). The surface issue in the case of Gold v. Tafoya was water, but the deeper bone of contention was whether the Guadalupita grant was a community or a private grant. Behind these arguments was a power struggle for control of common lands outside the village of Guadalupita, and each side was setting forth a radically different view of the early history of the Guadalupita land grant. As often happened in New Mexico, whoever controlled the history controlled the land. The plaintiffs, led by George Gold, introduced what they claimed was the list of settlers attached to the act of possession establishing the names of the original grantees and the number of varas of irrigable land each one received. George Gold received 900 varas of land, much more than the average allotment, which was generally of 60 or 100 varas. According to the Plaintiffs’ complaint, after the grantees were placed in possession of their private tracts of land they built houses, took out acequias, and proceeded to cultivate their lands. These settlers held a meeting and agreed among themselves (according to Gold), that the land 13 upstream from the allotted lands should remain open as common pasture lands. While the water in the Rio Coyote was often insufficient to irrigate their crops, the plaintiffs claimed that the defendants Felipe Tafoya, Tomás Baca, Carlos Kemp, Juan de Jesús Martín, and Clemente del Oro were settling on the common lands, constructing dams and taking out new acequias to the Plaintiffs’ detriment. George Gold and his fellow plaintiffs asked the court to restrain the defendants from occupying these common lands, building new dams, and taking out new acequias.13 Figure 7. The village of Guadalupita in 1946. The lead lawyer for the plaintiffs was Stephen B. Elkins, later one of the owners of the Mora grant and thus an owner of the Guadalupita grant. In early 1866 he had just arrived in Santa Fe after practicing law in Mesilla for three years and was beginning his first term in the territorial legislature. It is likely that his representation of George Gold was Elkins' first introduction to land within the Mora grant and the possibilities for land speculation soon became clear to him. Later Elkins and Thomas B. Catron started acquiring interests in the Mora grant from the heirs of the first grantees, as mentioned earlier. As the case of Gold v. Tafoya began to heat up, newly arrived Thomas B. Catron was looking for his first job in New Mexico in the summer of 1866. He had just arrived in Santa Fe and soon found part time work with Kirby Benedict who would eventually represent the defendants in Gold v. Tafoya. From Benedict, Catron began learning about New Mexico's people, laws, and land grants. He probably became aware of the 14 case of Gold v. Tafoya and the Guadalupita and Mora grants, in his capacity as Kirby Benedict's assistant. Together with Elkins, Catron would soon own the entire Mora grant. His early connection with Benedict may have been when Catron first thought of acquiring his huge land grant empire that eventually encompassed at least two million acres.14 Meanwhile the Guadalupita lawsuit was moving toward a resolution. As a result of depositions taken in April 1867 it became clear that the Guadalupita grant had been settled prior to the U.S. invasion of New Mexico, so that the key requirement for land grant legitimacy had been met. Kirby Benedict's theory that the lands in question were public domain would not hold up if Guadalupita was a valid community grant. Besides the Mora grant's 1860 confirmation included most of the Guadalupita grant. So in April of 1868, Kirby Benedict's clients conceded defeat. They agreed to accept the injunction, pay the court costs, and allow the Guadalupita common lands to remain open. Presumably this meant that the waters of the Rio Coyote would flow through the Guadalupita Canyon unimpeded by irrigation diversion dams.15 It is probable that the case of Gold v. Tafoya temporarily slowed down the privatization of the Guadalupita common lands, but by the late 1880s the lands in the Guadalupita Canyon over which Gold v Tafoya was fought, were divided up by the existing Guadalupita settlers. On the 19th of October 1889, a meeting of a large number of citizens was held in the Guadalupita plaza. By this time it appears that the community had become more united than was true in the 1860s. Instead of trying to obtain an advantage by hiring lawyers and fighting to see who could get the largest slice of the common lands, eighty-five Guadalupita settlers agreed among themselves to divide the lands in the Guadalupita canyon into eighty-five equal sized tracts of land 130 yards wide. A five-man commission was appointed to put the settlers in possession of their land and deliver deeds or hijuelas to each one.16 The land divided measured 11,150 varas from north to south, bounded on the north by the boundary line of the Mora grant, and on the south by the lands of Nicanor Trujillo. The land was divided among eighty-five people, a list of whom is attached as Appendix C. Each of the settlers received a hijuela or deed describing their tract of land and stating the boundaries. (The hijuela of Cresencio Romero is attached as Appendix D.) Presumably these eighty-five individuals went into possession of their tracts of land though it does not appear that these lands were fenced. At the completion of the Mora grant partition suit, this land was mapped for the first time by surveyor Claude 15 Miller. Since this is the beginning of the chain of title for the Coyote Creek State Park it will be discussed in the next section. Figure 8. Photo of a surveyor from the collection of Munira Salazar, probably depicting Claude Miller as he executed his Guadalupita Survey. While these events were occurring in Guadalupita, the Mora land grant was being acquired by Elkins, Catron, and others, and was eventually partitioned. When it was determined who received private tracts of land before Catron and Elkins got their share from the partition sale, only those who had taken possession of the common lands and had deeds as did the Guadalupita settlers, received anything. 5. Coyote Creek State Park Abstract The abstract for Coyote Creek State Park shows an unbroken chain of title from the two 1924 deeds from Abran Archuleta covering three tracts of land totaling 1155 acres to the 2004 warranty deed from the Trust for Public Land to New Mexico State Park Division for 382.35 acres (an earlier deed in 1969 conveyed almost 80 acres to the 16 New Mexico State Park and Recreation Commission). Before discussing this chain of title it is necessary to tie it in to the history of the Mora and Guadalupita grants discussed earlier. That can be done by reference to the Miller survey and two deeds not in the abstract. As mentioned earlier, the land in the Guadalupita Canyon where Coyote Creek State Park is located was an example of privatized common lands. The 1889 partition document reveals how that partition was accomplished. The hijuelas those settlers received is probably the beginning of this chain of title, but the only one discovered is the one to Cresencio Romero in Appendix D. Privatized common lands were distributed to those in possession by a committee appointed in each community consisting of three leading citizens. Then the findings of that committee were embodied in a survey of the lands being divided. In the case of Guadalupita (and most other communities) that survey was executed by Claude H. Miller. The portion of the Miller survey on the next page shows the three tracts of land Abran Archuleta deeded out in the first two deeds in the abstract, from north to south tracts 1, 2 and 3. Below that is a schematic diagram or plat of the current boundaries of the Coyote Creek State Park. 17 Figure 9. Portion of 1912 Survey by Claude Miller showing tracts from which Coyote Creek State Park was carved out. 18 Figure 10. . Current boundaries of Coyote Creek State Park. A. Coyote Creek State Park Abstract/ Part 1 In order to connect the first deeds in the abstract with the Guadalupita and Mora grants it is necessary to examine two deeds our research discovered that are not in the abstract. The first is the 1914 deed from Emijidio Silva et al. to Jesus Pacheco, et al. covering a larger tract and referring to the Miller Survey, the second is a 1922 deed from Jesus Pacheco, et al to Abran Archuleta of a 250 acre tract carved out of the larger tract. An examination of the 1880 Guadalupita Census (Exhibit E), and the 1900 Guadalupita Census (Exhibit F) reveals that Emijidio Silva was the oldest son of José Dolores Silva, who in 1900 was 60 years old. Silva was married to Nestora (or Nestoria Silva, and is listed in the 1851 list of Guadalupita settlers and the 1889 partition of the Guadalupita commons. José Dolores Silva’s interest in the Guadalupita Commons must have passed to his eldest son who then conveyed part of it to Jesus Pacheco et al., who in turn conveyed it to Abran Archuleta. Jose Dolores Silva’s wife, Nestora, owned the tract just south of the Abran Archuleta tract. The deed from Jesus Pacheco and his wife for 250 acres covers the same land as is described in the first deed in the abstract from Abran Archuleta to Francisco Archuleta. This added to the two tracts covered by deed 2 in the abstract of 599 and 306 acres respectively, totals 1155 acres, which is remarkably close to the tract of land acquired by W. Peter McAtee by three deeds in 1966 and 1967 (1100 acres). Having dealt with the deeds by which Abran Archuleta acquired the land from which the Coyote Creek State Park was carved out, we can now look at the abstract as a 19 whole. The chain of title of Coyote Creek State Park shown in Appendix A can be divided into four parts (divided by dark lines). Part one consists of the early deeds and the Miller Survey not included in the abstract. Part two involves the 1155 acres covered in the first deeds just discussed and the transactions within the Archuleta family covering this land. Part three covers the acquisition of the Archuleta land by W. Peter McAtee in 1968, its subdivision into smaller tracts, and its survey by New Mexico Land Surveyors. Part 4 covers the conveyances of two of the tracts subdivided from the original approximately 1155 acres to the New Mexico State Park commission. The first conveyance to Coyote Creek State Park was in 1969 when Coyote Creek Investment transferred 80 acres for $16,000. The plat showing this tract as surveyed in 2004 at a little less than 80 acres is shown below. Figure 11. From Southwest Mountain Surveys plat dated August 31, 2004 and recorded in Plat Book 770B-1 and 770B-2, and Plat Book 775B. The second conveyance to Coyote Creek State Park was in 2004 from the Trust for Public Land which had acquired 382 acres earlier from Coyote Creek Partnership based on a survey by Southwest Mountain Surveys. 20 B. Coyote Creek State Park Abstract/ Part 2 Having discussed part 1 of the abstract, we will turn to Part 2 which contains the transactions within the family of Abran Archuleta and his widow Emelia Duran de Archuleta. From the 1924 period when Abran Archuleta acquired the approximately 1155 acres, the abstract jumps to the mid 1940s during which period Abran Archuleta died. In February of 1943 his widow Emilia Archuleta conveyed five tracts of 129 2/7 acres to her five children, presumably keeping a 129 2/7 acre tract for herself. This division of an approximately 1155-acre tract did not last long as several of Emilia’s children sold their tracts (or parts thereof) in the mid-1940s (abstract pp. 8-11). During this period as the 1155 acre tract is fragmented, two individuals Frank (Francisco Archuleta), a son of Abran and Emilia,17 and Eusebio Romero consolidated the smaller tracts between them. In later transactions the entire Abran Archuleta tract was divided into tract C (Eusebio Romero) and tract D Frank (Francisco) Archuleta. In 1965 Frank Archuleta attempted to deed his portion of the large tract to three individuals to take effect upon his death (Abstract pp. 12-15). These deeds were invalid, so title to the land remained in Frank (Francisco) Archuleta. C. Coyote Creek State Park Abstract/ Part 3 In 1966 W. Peter McAtee (and several corporations set up by him) began to acquire the interests of Eusebio Romero and Frank (Francisco) Archuleta in the approximately 1150 acre Abran Archuleta tract. In 1966 McAtee’s Aliso Investment acquired the interest of Frank Archuleta and in 1967 Aliso Investment acquired the interest of Eusebio Romero and his wife (after the Romeros completed a suit to quiet title to the tract). Thus by 1967 Peter McAtee had acquired the entire Abran Archuleta tract now surveyed at about 1145 acres. During this time period McAtee, Eusebio Romero, and Frank Archuleta consolidated their interests by buying up any stray interests in the large Abran Archuleta tract. In October 1967 McAtee and his wife obtained a loan secured by a deed of trust to the Bank of Las Vegas on 1258 acres and in the same month a tract of 80 acres was released from the deed of trust, based on a survey by Mark Weedman, of land “to be used by State Park and Recreation Commission.” In October of 1968 McAtee conveyed the 1149-acre tract to Coyote Creek Investment Company. These two transactions set the stage for the conveyance by Coyote Creek Investment to New Mexico State Park and 21 Recreation Commission of 80 acres out of the larger tract for $16,000 to be used for Coyote Creek State Park (abstract pp. 71-2). This deed begins part 4 of the abstract. D. Coyote Creek State Park Abstract/ Part 4 Part 4 of the abstract covers the period from 1969, when the first conveyance to the NM State Park Division occurred, to 2004 when the second conveyance from the Trust for Public Lands to the NM State Park Division took place. As mentioned earlier, these two conveyances comprise the total current acreage of Coyote Creek State Park of approximately 462 acres. Besides these two deeds carving out the existing acreage of Coyote Creek State Park, the remaining deeds in section 4 deal with the developers who owned the remaining approximately 688 acres. Peter McAtee’s Coyote Creek Investment becomes the Guadalupita Corporation with Bruce Black as president. Then the property is transferred from Guadalupita Corporation to Coyote Corporation, again with Bruce Black as principal owner. During the time that these transactions are taking place between 1971 and 1981, surveyors Koogle and Pouls of Albuquerque conduct a new survey based on the State Planning Office Monumentation Project performed in 1969. The new survey description ties to the SPO (State Planning Office) monument called Guadalupita instead of the old Miller Survey point no. 116 which was monumented by a nail in a tree. Koogle and Pouls were aware of the new Guadalupita monument because that firm established the monument. In 1984 an exchange agreement carved out of the remaining tract owned by Coyote Corporation the Vista Verde Subdivision west of Coyote Creek State Park. A plat attached to this agreement shows the subdivision, the 80-acre Coyote Creek State Park and the remaining land owned by Coyote Corporation. 22 Figure 12. Plat attached as Exhibit I. Although not part of the abstract, a document to be discussed in the next section, “Coyote Creek State Park Management and Development Plan 2002-2006,” indicates that in 1985 one year after the Exchange Agreement carved out the Vista Verde Subdivision, “a group of volunteers the Friends of Coyote Creek was established . . .[who have been] instrumental in raising money for a variety of projects.” It appears that the acquisition of the remaining 382 acres of Coyote Creek State Park by the Trust for Public Land may have been facilitated by the Friends of Coyote Creek.18 Between 1981 and 1988 Coyote Corporation evolved into Coyote Creek Partnership with Bruce Black as Managing Partner. In 1988 a series of Quitclaim Deeds conveyed the interests of Coyote Corporation to seven individuals (abstract pp. 104-124) but those transfers were all reversed in another series of Quitclaim Deeds (abstract, pp. 125-145). By 2004 an agreement was reached between Coyote Creek Partnership and the Trust for Public Land to purchase an additional 382 acres of land surrounding the original 80 acres of Coyote Creek State Park. The following is a survey plat describing those 382 acres 23 Figure 13. Survey plat showing park boundaries attached to 2004 Purchase Agreement. It appears that the community of Guadalupita, and the Friends of Coyote Creek State Park, encouraged the acquisition of this additional tract by the Trust for Public Land, whose mission is to protect and conserve land with a high cultural, historical, and environmental value “for people to enjoy as parks, gardens, and other natural places19.” It can be seen from figure 13 above how close the Coyote Creek State Park is to the Vista Verde Subdivision which was strongly protested by the Guadalupita community at its inception. A new survey was executed by Southwest Mountain Surveys which showed the current boundaries of the park roughly as in the figure above, except that a small triangle of the 80-acre tract extended across Highway 434. On October 14, 2004, the Trust for Public Land conveyed the 382.35 acres of land it had acquired from the Coyote Creek Partnership to the State of New Mexico, State Parks Division based on Southwest Mountain Surveys “Boundary Survey of Coyote Creek State Park” dated August 31, 2004. 24 This concludes the examination of the abstract for Coyote Creek State Park. The latest deed is the conveyance from the Trust for Public Lands in October 2004. Since the abstract does not cover deeds affecting the land encompassed by the Coyote Creek State Park that were recorded after April 30, 2004, it might be helpful to obtain a supplemental abstract covering the period from that date down to the present. The next section will deal with the operation of Coyote Creek State Park. 6. Operation of Coyote Creek State Park This section will deal with the operation of Coyote Creek State Park as it relates to the surrounding community. One of the first park managers was Joseph Griego, whose grandfather Eusebio Romero had a ranch on a part of the land that eventually became Coyote Creek State Park. The Eusebio Romero ranch contained several structures, remains of two of which are still located within the park. The ranch included a residence house, which is still used as the park manager’s residence, a steam powered lumber mill, and a still for making moonshine whiskey (mula). The remains of the moonshine shack are still visible within the park. Other park managers, all of whom are from the local community and in one case Las Vegas, are Juan Abelino Espinosa, Toby Velasquez, Matthew Romero, Jayme Romero and the current park manager Chris Vigil. Another way in which the park is connected with the community is through an agreement with the Eusebio and Teodoro Romero Acequia Association which allows for the water flowing through the park and its water rights to be under the jurisdiction and in compliance with association rules and regulations.20 As of 1999 the Coyote Creek State Park drew between 20,000 to 30,000 visitors annually, mostly in the late spring and summer months. Fishing is popular, as well as hiking, camping, and picnicking. The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish regularly stock Coyote Creek with rainbow trout. The annual water flow through the park averages 10,000 acre-feet (acre-foot is 325,000 gallons). The park is the highest stocked state park in New Mexico per volume of water. Trout weighing up to 3 pounds have been caught in Coyote Creek with the average trout caught being 8-12 inches long. The park hosts a annual fiesta for the greater community in October. The 2002-2008 Management and Development Plan for Coyote Creek State Park recommended the appropriation of funds for park expansion in 2004. It is not known 25 whether the funds were appropriated, but it may be they were not and that is why the Trust for Public Lands had to step in and acquire the 382-acre tract. 7. Conclusion The lands of the Coyote Creek State Park fall within the common lands of the Guadalupita grant which was overlapped by the Mora grant. Both the Mora and Guadalupita grants were made by the Mexican government in the mid 1830s. When the Guadalupita grant was made, the petitioners for the grant approached the principal settlers on the Mora grant and received their approval for a new grant within the boundaries of the Mora grant. After the Guadalupita grant was made, the history of the two grants and of their common lands proceeded in a parallel fashion. On the Mora grant new settlements were formed as allotments were made to the new settlers in the form of deeds called hijuelas. The communities of Golondrinas (1838), La Junta (1842), La Cueva (1844), Agua Negra (Holman, 1856), Cañada del Carro (1868), Chupaderos (1868), La Jara/ Laguna (1867-68), Ojo Feliz (1869), and Ciruela (1869) were settled in this way. In places such as Ocaté and Golondrinas, additional partitions of the common lands adjacent to those settlements took place. For example in 1869, thirty-three settlers at Golondrinas divided approximately 30,000 acres of mostly common lands for their own use, approved by Probate Judge Vicente Romero. In 1851 the Guadalupita settlers returned after a brief abandonment, and 80 settlers were placed in possession of land at Guadalupita. They received house lots and garden plots form 60 varas to 900 varas wide. Then in 1966 the lawsuit of Gold v. Tafoya revealed that the common lands in the Guadalupita Canyon (within which the Coyote Creek State Park is located), were being contested. The plaintiffs, led by George Gold, claimed that everyone had agreed that these common lands should remain open as common pasture lands, while the defendants were settling on those common lands, constructing dams and taking out new acequias. After the court issued an injunction prohibiting settlement on the common lands, the lawsuit was finally settled in 1867 when the defendants agreed to accept the injunction and allow the common lands in the Guadalupita Canyon to remain open. Presumably the common lands in Guadalupita Canyon remained open until October of 1889 when eighty-five Guadalupita settlers agreed to partition those common lands among themselves into tracts of land 130 yards wide. This was the first 26 privatization of common lands within the Guadalupita grant, which probably took place because of developments on the Mora grant. The Mora grant was submitted to the Surveyor General for confirmation in 1858, and after a favorable recommendation, was confirmed by Congress in 1860. It was surveyed at about 890,000 acres, excluding the overlapping John Scolly grant. Since the Guadalupita grant was submitted to the Court of Private Land Claims in the 1890s the Mora confirmation took precedence. By the late 1860s to the 1870s, Stephen Elkins and Thomas Catron had acquired the interests of the seventy-six individuals to whom the Mora grant was confirmed and at this point they owned the common lands of the Mora grant. In order to segregate the common lands from the privatized land within the Mora grant in 1877, Elkins and Vicente Romero filed suit to partition the Mora grant. The case was not finally resolved until 1916 when the common lands of the Mora grant were sold at public auction. In the mean time, the privatized lands within the Guadalupita Canyon were divided among those in possession, leading to the first deeds in the abstract of Coyote Creek State Park. The procedure of the Mora grant partition suit was to appoint three trustees or commissioners to apportion the privatized commons among the settlers in possession or with deeds. The result was memorialized in the map by Claude Miller that shows three tracts of land owned by Abran Archuleta that contain the land out of which Coyote Creek State Park was carved out. The Miller survey and the 1914 and 1922 deeds from Emijidio Silva and Jesus Pacheco tie the first deed in the abstract to the partition of the Mora grant and the division of lands in the Guadalupita Canyon. The remaining three parts of the abstract cover the Abran Archuleta deeds for the 1155 acres from which Coyote Creek State Park was carved out and numerous transactions within the Archuleta family and the family of Eusebio Romero (Part 2) the acquisition of the large (1155 acre) tract by Peter McAtee and the various corporations through which he operated (Part 3), and the acquisition in two transactions (80 acres in 1969 and 382 acres in 2004) by the New Mexico State Park Division of the current acreage of Coyote Creek State Park. The operation of Coyote Creek State Park is supported by the community and most of the Park Managers have been from the Guadalupita-Mora area. With the additional documents discovered in our research, added to the abstract, there is a unbroken chain of title for the Coyote Creek State Park. 27 Appendix A – Chain of title of Coyote Creek State Park Date/ Page of Abstract Document Grantor Grantee/ Official Book/ Page Legal Description 1889/ App. B Partition of Guadalupita Canyon Commission Del Pueblo of Guadalupita 85 individuals N/ 37 (filed 1898) By Public meeting in the Plaza of Guadalupita on October 19, 1889, the cañoncito of Guadalupita was partitioned into 85 tracts of 130 varas 1889/ App. C Hijuela Comisíon del Pueblo de Guadalupita Cresencio Romero 1912/ App. D 1912 Survey by Claude H.
