1966 Map of Sanhedrin Mtn

About this map

Sanhedrin Mountain dominates this portion of the Mendocino National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the high divides of Long Doe Ridge and numerous creek drainages. Remote outposts and family-named clearings like Elk Creek Ranch, Bennett Valley, and Crocker Place dot the terrain, connected by a network of steep Jeep Trails and Pack Trails. The presence of a Lookout on Big Signal Peak and the naming of features such as Impassable Rock suggest the challenging nature of the interior Coast Range before modern accessibility. High-altitude water sources like Lily Pad Lake and Summit Lake provide rare level ground in a territory characterized by the converging forks of Elk Creek and Little Sanhedrin Creek.
