Scope and Contents

From the File: The Zuni I land claim case, like all Indian land claims, was litigated in two phases. First, the extent of lands taken was determined, then the value of the land at the time of taking was established, with no interest. Boxes 400 and 401 contain extensive materials on the classification of lands taken, including the following materials: General Land Office Surveyor General description photostats of pertinent townships in Arizona and New Mexico, market data research transcribed (this was material generated by one of Zuni's appraisers, R. Howard Sears), CADD drawing logs (used to generate valuation maps of lands taken), and digitizing logs (used to generate valuation maps of lands taken).
