Topographic map of the Folsom site, showing the location of core/auger holes (black dots), select 5 x 5 m excavation blocks (M15, M17, M18), and 1 m² test units (open squares) from 1997-1999. Ticks along the edges mark the site grid. Black dots within gray circles identify core/auger holes where stratum f2 was present, and also very roughly indicate the course of the two prongs of the tributary (which come in from the south and southwest on the South Bank), and the location of the paleovalley, which is located beneath the North Bank, in a course that approximately parallels the present arroyo. The plan map of the 1920s excavations is superimposed (in bold outline), although its position is at best an approximation.
