As I have mentioned before, Cabeza de Baca descendants (including my 2nd great-grandfather Martin Baca) brought a lawsuit to the United States government to reclaim land granted to their ancestor Luis Maria Cabeza de Baca. Although they were unable to get the original property, (in present-day Las Vegas, New Mexico) they were given 5 plots of land of about 99,000 acres each.
One of the plots eventually became the Baca National Wildlife Refuge in Colorado. Check out the link below:
