2018 Map of Tombs Creek

About this map

The Wheatfield Fork Gualala River carves through the heavily ridged landscape of northwestern Sonoma County, where steep terrain historically limited development to small flats and clearings. In this 2018 survey, the tiny settlement of Las Lomas sits along the Stewarts Point Skaggs Springs Rd corridor, serving as a rare anchor in a region defined by complex topography. Named landmarks like Quicksilver Flat hint at the area's mercury mining history, while Bull Opening and Eddicut Flat suggest pockets of grazing or early homesteading amidst the timbered slopes. The land is defined by a dense network of high ridges, including Lyle Ridge and Black Oak Ridge, with numerous seasonal water sources such as Johnny Brown Springs and Yellowjacket Spring providing essential hydrology for the remote backcountry near Centennial Mtn.
