Lore
Tomhead Mountain is a summit in California rising to 6,624 feet, or 2,019 meters. It has also been recorded as Tom's Head and Toms Head. Local tradition holds that the mountain was named because its profile resembled the head of an early settler known as Tom, which gave rise to the name Tomhead Mountain. Beyond its elevation and that naming tradition, little more is established in the available context.
