2017 Map of Harvey Creek

About this map

Winter Ridge dominates the northern reaches of this high-elevation landscape, overlooking the drainages of the Sycan River and the S Fork Sycan River. Within the boundaries of the Fremont National Forest, the map reveals a remote area defined by timber and livestock heritage, exemplified by the location of Kates Dairy near Government Harvey Pass. The terrain is characterized by broad flats like Bennett Flat and Harvey Flat, which contrast with the rising elevations of Taylor Buttes. A complex network of Forest Service roads and snowmobile routes, such as the Hadley Snowmobile path, indicates the modern dual use of the land for resource management and recreation. The mapping of numerous water sources, including Cold Spring, Currier Spring, and Hogwallow Spring, provides essential data for those studying the hydrology and land-use history of this corner of Lake County.
