2010 Map of Folsom

About this map

Folsom sits at the junction of several county roads in Union County, serving as a central point for the surrounding volcanic landscape. The settlement's connection to transportation history is visible in the Folsom Railroad Tank Bed, while the local Folsom Post Office marks the village's continued presence. The geography is defined by prominent peaks and watercourses, including Capulin Mountain and Twin Mountain, which rise above the Dry Cimarron River and the winding Pinabete Creek. Smaller family and community sites like Ellis and Cornay are scattered throughout the quadrangle, alongside several burial grounds such as Draw Cemetery and Martinez Cemetery. This area reflects the dispersed ranching and transit patterns of Northeastern New Mexico, where deep canyons like Pinabete Canyon provide natural pathways through the high plains.
