Capulin Volcano National Monument dominates the southwestern portion of this Northeastern New Mexico landscape, centered on the near-perfect cinder cone of Capulin Mtn. The summit is accessible via Volcano Road, with several hiking paths including the Crater Rim Trail and Lava Flow Trail detailing the volcanic geology. To the northeast, the village of Folsom sits along the Dry Cimarron River, serving as a focal point for local history with the Folsom Cem and nearby Drew Cem. The terrain is defined by volcanic features like Baby Capulin and Twin Mtn, while the drainage of Pinabete Canyon reveals the location of Pinabete Springs and Bennett Spring. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by these rural cemeteries and the remote settlement pattern typical of Union County.
