1998 Map of Tombstone Mountain

About this map

The Sacramento River carves a central path through this late-twentieth-century survey of the rugged California mountains, following the corridor established by the Southern Pacific railroad. Small settlements and specialized dwellings like Conant, Sims, and Wards Cabin are tightly clustered along the riverbanks, where the steep terrain of Sweetbrier Ridge and Mears Ridge allows for passage. The landscape is defined by the drainages of Sweetbrier Creek, Hazel Creek, and Mears Creek, which feed into the main river valley.
