1983 Map of Folsom

About this map

Folsom serves as the focal point for this 1983 topographic study, situated where the Tchefuncta River meets several vital drainage systems in St. Tammany Parish. The landscape is defined by the intricate prongs of the Bogue Falaya, including the West Prong, Middle Prong, and East Prong, which carve through the piney woods of the Florida Parishes. This area shows a dense concentration of rural community centers, particularly noted by several family cemeteries and country churches such as San Pedro Ch and Greater Payne Chapel. The map reveals a transition between the more established settlement around Folsom Sch and the wooded parish boundary shared with Washington Parish. Local routes like Willie Garrett Road and Factory Road connect isolated homesites and small agricultural clearings, providing a clear view of the late-twentieth-century rural infrastructure before significant modern expansion in the region.
