Research notes
Federal land covers ~30% of New Mexico: BLM ~13.5M ac, USFS ~9.4M ac, NPS units (Bandelier, White Sands NP, Carlsbad Caverns, Chaco, Gila Cliff Dwellings, Petroglyph, etc.), and DoD installations (see military AICUZ overlay). State Trust Lands administered by the NM State Land Office (NMSLO) cover roughly 9M surface acres plus ~13M subsurface — also not subject to municipal zoning. City records should flag any parcels of these classes inside the platted city limits with this overlay so downstream consumers do not apply municipal zoning fields to them.
