About this map

Folsom serves as the central hub of this northern St. Tammany Parish landscape, situated at the confluence of several rural routes including Smith-Wallace Rd and Hay Hollow Rd. The area is defined by a dense network of tributaries feeding into the Tchefunte River to the west and the various prongs of the Bogue Falaya to the east, including the W Prong Bogue Falaya. These waterways and their associated bottomlands, such as Dismal Br, have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and family cemeteries.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous family-named burial grounds, including the Blackwell Cem, Lee Cem, and Pierre Cem. The presence of the Unicorn Airport northwest of the main town site highlights the modern transport infrastructure integrated into this traditionally agricultural and forested region. Small congregational centers like St John Church remain vital landmarks within the patchwork of parish boundaries where St. Tammany meets Washington and Tangipahoa parishes.
