2015 Map of Solomon Peak

About this map

Solomon Peak and the surrounding wilderness of the North Coast Ranges are documented in this 2015 survey, which straddles the boundary between the Trinity National Forest and Mendocino National Forest. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Middle Fork Eel River and Thomes Creek, featuring high-elevation points such as Hammerhorn Mountain and Sugarloaf Mountain. The terrain transitions from deep ravines like Devils Hole Gulch to isolated water sources such as Kingsley Lake and Minnie Lake. Genealogists and historians can trace family-named landmarks like Harvey Ridge and Hopkins Hollow, which reflect the early ranching and surveying history of the border between Trinity and Tehama counties. The map also identifies distinctive natural features like the volcanic-sounding Hole-in-the-Ground and mineral-rich Sulphur Spring.
