2018 Map of Sherwood Peak

About this map

Sherwood Peak and Sherwood Ridge define the high terrain of this Mendocino County landscape, where deep drainages feed the coastal river systems. The map illustrates a complex network of ridgelines and watercourses, including the Middle Fork Ten Mile River and the N Fork Ten Mile River. Named clearings or landings such as Case Opening and Ames Opening suggest historic land use patterns and points of access within the timbered hills. The winding paths of the Ft Bragg-Sherwood Rd and Stagecoach Rd follow the topography, connecting the Sherwood Valley to the surrounding peaks. These corridors, along with features like Bucha Ridge and Lake Ridge, provide a clear picture of the area's difficult geography and its historical transit routes during the late twenty-first century.
