2015 Map of Sherwood Peak

About this map

Sherwood Valley occupies the eastern edge of this terrain, where the headwaters of several major coastal river systems converge. The map documents a complex drainage network including the S Fork Eel River and the Middle Fork Ten Mile River, illustrating the watershed divide between the Eel and Ten Mile basins. Distinctive clearings or meadows known locally as "openings," such as Case Opening and Ames Opening, are interspersed among the ridges. High points like Sherwood Peak and Strong Mtn dominate the landscape, connected by a series of prominent landforms including Bucha Ridge and Lake Ridge. The road network, featuring Sherwood Rd and Stage Coach Rd, follows the traditional paths through this portion of Mendocino County, providing access to the more remote Sherwood Ridge and Booth Gulch areas.
