At long last I found a resource on the United States Census inquiry into the New Mexico Territory as it was at the onset of the war.
The New Mexico Territory included the entirety of modern New Mexico and Arizona until 1863, or arguably 1861, with the secession of Dona Ana and Arizona Counties to form Confederate Arizona.
Dona Ana County, NT is today Dona Ana, Luna, Grant, Hidalgo, Catron, Otero, Eddy, Chavez and Lea County, New Mexico.
Arizona County, NT is today Cochise and Pima County with chunks of southern Graham and Greenlee County, Arizona.
Tucson had a population of roughly 800 at the time.
