Trial to Begin Over 38 Year Battle for Culebra Rights

In Costilla County a trial starts to decide if 11 descendants of San Luis settlers have historic access to La Sierra on Culebra Peak, based on the 1844 Sangre de Cristo Land Grant. The case pits descendants against Zachary Taylor, owner of the mountain land, amid long running conflicts, vandalism, and local water use tied to an irrigation network serving about 200 families. Local residents argue access remains essential to heritage and survival, while property rights and land ownership are contested through decades of legal action.
