1. 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

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

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.

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.

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.

Appendix C 1889 Partition of the Cañoncito de Guadalupita
Mora County Deeds, Book H, p. 508-10
To whom it may concern:
Be it known that in a public meeting held at the Plaza de Guadalupita, Mora
County, Territory of New Mexico, on October 19, 1889, [it was decided] by a large
number of citizens of Mora County to finally partition all that portion of land north of el
Valle de Guadalupita, commonly called the Cañoncito, which land is situated within the
Mora Land Grant, containing 11,150 yards from north to south, and more particularly
described as follows: on the North the boundary line dividing the Mora land grant from
the public domain (the ) on the east, the top of Ocate Mesa, on the south the land of
Nicanor Trujillo, and on the west the top of the hills that run between the Coyote River,
the Sierras de Agua Nega and the Valley.
Ignacio Pacheco was named president of the said meeting, and José O. Gonzales
was named secretary. The meeting having been called to order, the president explained
to [those members] of the community present, the purpose of the meeting, and the
members of the community present having given the matter serious consideration, it
was decided that the land in the Cañoncito described above would be divided between
the adult males, widows, and other inhabitants of precinct No. 3 of Mora County, and
for that purpose a commission of five citizens was named by the community, who are:
José Rafael Saavedra, Trinidad Lucero, Tomás D. Romero, Ramon Griego, and Antonio
Gonzales. The commission was authorized by the community to grant to J. D. McGrath
100 yards of land annexed to the land [partitioned to him] by his hijuela, in
compensation for professional [legal] services rendered to the said community and for
putting those persons acquiring title by this partition in possession of their land.
Accordingly, the commission measured the land of the Cañoncito and divided it
into 85 tracts, each consisting of 130 yards in width . . .
Placing those persons whose names are subscribed at the foot of this document
and who are receiving title to their tracts of land 130 yards wide, in peaceful legal
possession [of their land . . . . .
Giving to each [of the 85 individuals] written title in the form of an hijuela . . .
In testimony whereof we have signed our names, this 24th day of October 1889
at the Plaza of Guadalupita, NM.
