Some of the paths around Sinshan Creek
A Kesh map of the watershed of Sinsham Creek, given to the Editor by Little Bear Woman of Sinsham
Only the Spring of Sinsham creek, Blue Rock, certain springs and hills, and the paths toward the summits of Sinsham Mountain are identified by name.
The note written on the lower right part of the map reads "Northwestwards fifteen under toyon boulder. Before the Grass." Little Bear Woman had no idea what it referred to; she said the map "had been around the house for a long time."
