1976 Map of Folsom NW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Folsom occupies the southern edge of this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which captures the transition between dense woodland and cleared agricultural tracts in St. Tammany Parish. Unlike traditional line-drawn maps, this aerial imagery provides a direct visual record of the land surface as it appeared in January 1976. The landscape is defined by a distinct patchwork of timber and farming, with narrow corridors of dense canopy following the natural drainage patterns that cut through the terrain. A clear diagonal road corridor facilitates movement through the northwest of the settlement, while large rectilinear clearings suggest active forestry or livestock operations common to this region of the Louisiana Florida Parishes. The resolution of the scan reveals the specific footprint of rural homesites and the density of the pine and hardwood forests characteristic of the area during this period of development.
