*There are two Chapter XVIs in Bowden's work: Valencia County in Volume 5 and Bernalillo County in Volume 6. 

**These descriptions of Colorado and Arizona are not a part of Bowden's work. Rather, they serve as substitutes for the county descriptions that the New Mexico State Historian has available for New Mexico counties. The private land claims described within these other states were once part of New Mexico or disputed borders of the Gadsden Purchase and, as such, are included within.
