About this map

Folsom sits at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape, where the Dry Cimarron River winds through the valley floor. The area is defined by its volcanic geology, most notably the prominent cinder cone of Capulin Mtn preserved within the Capulin Volcano National Monument. This distinct landform anchors the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, while other peaks like Twin Mtn, Mud Hill, and Buffalo Head punctuate the surrounding ranch land.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites including Folsom Catholic Cem, Drew Cem, and the Martinez Cem near Pinabete Springs. Smaller settlements such as Baby Capulin and Capulin are linked by a network of county roads like Co RD 8030 and Bison RD. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, marked by named features such as Folsom Falls, Snuyvesant Springs, and Bennett Spring.
