I briefly summarize the mapping efforts conducted with (sub)-millimeter
surveys to uncover how massive galaxies form. The galaxies discovered have
typical star-formation rates of the order of ~100-1000 Msun/yr at z~1-6. The
derived redshift distribution, number counts, luminosity functions and
morphological transformation constrain galaxy formation and evolution models
of the bright IR emitting sources discovered. I will also present the case for
the next generation extragalactic surveys to be conducted with TolTEC on the
50m Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT), as part of its Legacy Programs. These
surveys will tie the dust properties of the luminous infrared galaxy
population (>10 Msun/yr) to their optical counterparts with large samples.
