2017 Map of Folsom

About this map

Capulin Volcano National Monument dominates the southwestern portion of this landscape, showcasing the distinct volcanic geology of northeastern New Mexico. The conical form of Capulin Mtn and the surrounding Lava Flow define the terrain, while nearby features like Baby Capulin, Mud Hill, and Twin Mtn illustrate a broader field of volcanic activity. To the northeast, the settlement of Folsom sits near the banks of the Dry Cimarron River, serving as a focal point for the region’s sparse road network, including Main ST and Dodge ST. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying local burial sites such as Folsom Cem, Drew Cem, and Martinez Cem. Natural water sources like Pinabete Springs, Bennett Spring, and Stuyvesant Springs dot the high plains, indicating the vital importance of groundwater in this arid environment cut by deep drainages like Pinabete Canyon.
