About this map

Sycan Marsh dominates this landscape, showing a complex network of wetlands and seasonal water at the headwaters of the Sycan Wild and Scenic River. This high-desert wetland system is protected within the Fremont National Forest, where the marshy basin meets the rising elevations of Brattain Ridge and Sycan Butte. The hydrologic patterns are well-defined, with Coyote Creek and Chocktoot Creek feeding into the marshy expanse from the north and east.

A sense of the area's utility and remote management is found at the Saxon Sycan Airport, while forest navigation is dictated by specific routes like Trunk Road 408. South of the main marsh, the terrain transitions into Sycan Flat and holds smaller water bodies like Louse Lake and Lake Henry. This map captures a strictly managed natural environment where the Sycan River begins its protected course through Lake County.
