About this map

The Wheatfield Fork Gualala River defines the western reaches of this landscape, a region of Sonoma County dominated by a complex network of ridgelines and water sources. Named ridges like Black Oak Ridge, Kitty Ridge, and Gibson Ridge create a corrugated terrain that influenced early settlement and land use. The presence of Quicksilver Flat suggests a history of mineral exploration, while named clearings such as Bull Opening and Eddicut Flat indicate pockets of human activity amidst the dense topography.

Modern access is provided by Stewarts Point Skaggs Springs Rd, which winds through the central hills. Cultural landmarks are sparse but significant, including the small settlement at Las Lomas and the Coleman Field airstrip in the south. Dozens of springs and creeks, from Johnny Brown Springs to Soda Spring Cr, dot the map, marking the vital water sources that have sustained this remote portion of the California coast range.
