2017 Map of Sycan Marsh West

About this map

Sycan Marsh dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its intricate hydrology defined by the Sycan River and a network of seasonal watercourses. To the west, the terrain rises into the timbered reaches of the Fremont National Forest, where the topography is incised by drainage systems such as Long Cr and Dry Cr. This 2017 survey details a landscape where water management and forest access are paramount, showing the transition from marshland to upland forest. Notable for researchers is the distribution of water sources like Cold Spring and Coyote Cr, which have historically dictated land use in this part of Lake County. Access is maintained through a system of forest routes, including the Natl Forest Develop Road 28B Rd and Fs 27, which provide the primary transit corridors through the wooded western sections.
