About this map

The Sycan River carves a central path through this section of the Fremont National Forest, marking a landscape defined by significant water resources and historical transition points. A notable historic location is the Emigrant Crossing (Site), indicating a point where early travelers navigated the river's course. The terrain shifts from the high prominence of Shake Butte in the southwest to the broad, level expanses of Squaw Flat and Crazyman Flat, which suggest the high-altitude meadow and plateau geography of the Oregon interior.

Water management and forest administration are evident through features like the Currier Guard Station and various springs, including Driscol Spring. To the southeast, the Kingry Marsh provides a distinct hydrological contrast to the timbered slopes. This 2004 revision reflects a managed forest landscape, where drainage systems like Currier Creek and Skull Creek feed into the protected Fremont Wild and Scenic River corridor.
