2017 Map of Folsom

About this map

The small settlement of Folsom anchors this portion of Custer County, situated near the winding course of Spring Cr. The landscape transitions from the open stretches of the Buffalo Gap National Grassland to the distinctive elevations of Railroad Buttes in the north. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint the location of the Folsom Cem, situated southeast of the main settlement area along Co Hwy 121. The map reveals a network of rural routes, including the Lower Spring Creek Rd and Farmingdale-Folsom Rd, which connect the scattered homesteads and ranches across the undulating terrain. Notable geographic markers such as Phiney Flat, Cole Draw, and Elkhorn Draw define the local drainage patterns and provide reference points for land ownership research in this quiet corner of the South Dakota plains.
