1978 Map of Tombs Creek

About this map

Wickersham Ranch and Moffitt Ranch sit within the complex ridgelines of northwestern Sonoma County, part of a rugged coastal landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Fork Gualala River. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of named ridges like Sheep Repose Ridge, Black Oak Ridge, and Walters Ridge, which divide the many seasonal and permanent watercourses. The 1978 edition reveals a region largely shaped by historic land use and geology, featuring landmarks such as Quicksilver Flat, suggesting past mining interests, and the remote outpost of Las Lomas. Cattle ranching and water management are evident through the numerous springs like Johnny Brown Springs and the naming of local landmarks such as Wild Cattle Creek and Bull Opening. Transport across this difficult geography was primarily facilitated by an extensive system of fire roads and a Trail network winding through peaks like Buck Mountain and Big Mountain.
