2013 Map of Folsom

About this map

Capulin Volcano National Monument dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, centered on the distinct cone of Capulin Mtn. The surrounding terrain transitions from the volcanic high ground near Sierra Grande to the valley of the Dry Cimarron River in the north. The village of Folsom serves as a local focal point, showing evidence of its industrial past through the Folsom Railroad Tank Bed and a Folsom Coal Loading Chute. Water remains a vital element of this high-plains geography, with several named sources like Stuyvesant Springs, Bennett Spring, and Pinabete Springs feeding the drainage networks of Pinabete Canyon. Rural life is further mapped through small settlements such as Ellis and Bennett, along with the Martinez Cem and Folsom Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogists and local historians studying the ranching and rail corridors of Union County.
