1960 Map of Sycan Marsh

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Sycan Marsh dominates the southern half of this landscape, its complex wetlands and river channels feeding into the Sycan River. This 1960 survey documents a high-altitude basin where the Fremont National Forest meets active cattle ranching and timber extraction. The presence of the Logging Railroad winding through the eastern hills toward Sycan Butte highlights the industrial character of the era, while the Old Indian Reservation Boundary cuts a historical line across the western reaches near Indian Creek Flat. In the north, Thompson Reservoir appears as a major water body, surrounded by smaller landmarks like Elder Cabin and the Ginder Pit. Settlement is sparse but permanent, represented by established operations such as the Z X Ranch, Carlon Ranch, and Bratton Ranch, along with the former Camp Fifteen (Site).
