About this map

The town of Folsom serves as the focal point of this St. Tammany Parish landscape, where the headwaters of the Bogue Falaya converge. The drainage system is remarkably detailed, showing the W Prong Bogue Falaya, Middle Prong Bogue Falaya, and E Prong Bogue Falaya branching north into Washington Parish. The map reveals a dense network of family and local history through its numerous burial grounds, including the Blackwell Cem, New Hope Cem, and Poplus Cem.

Beyond the residential grid of Folsom, the terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and named water bodies such as Greens Pond and Erwin Pond. Small-scale aviation is represented by Unicorn Airport west of the main settlement. The survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of the area, from established routes like Turkey Rd to the various parish roads that cross the county lines between Tangipahoa, Washington, and St. Tammany.
