1967 Map of Sherwood Peak

About this map

Sherwood Peak and the high ridges of Mendocino County dominate this 1960s survey, updated with late-1980s data to show the evolving network of forest roads and land clearings. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of major drainage systems, including the South Fork Eel River and the complex branching of the North Fork Ten Mile River and Middle Fork Ten Mile River. Traces of ranching and early logging are evident in features like Clarke Ranch and high-elevation clearings such as Case Opening and Ames Opening. The historical Sherwood Road winds through the terrain, connecting the upland forests to Sherwood Valley. This map documents a period when these interior ridges were primarily used for timber and grazing, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of Bucha Ridge and Smith Ridge.
