1950 Map of Folsom

About this map

Folsom serves as the primary hub in this mid-century survey of the north shore piney woods, situated at the junction of several key regional routes. The map documents a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Bogue Falaya River and the Tchefuncta River, with numerous small tributaries like Catca Creek and Marys Branch carving through the terrain. This edition provides significant genealogical detail through the documentation of family-named cemeteries such as Owens Cem and Blackwell Cem, which are scattered across the parish. Social and educational landmarks of the era are clearly marked, including the Folsom Rosenwald Sch, Southwestern Sch, and rural congregations at New Hope Ch and Paine Chapel. The boundary between Washington and St. Tammany Parish cuts across the northern section, illustrating the administrative divisions of this part of Louisiana during the 1930s and 40s.
