2020 Map of Sycan Marsh West

About this map

Sycan Marsh dominates the eastern half of this landscape, creating a vast wetland system within the high country of Lake County. This 2020 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, where water bodies like Coyote Cr and Long Cr feed into the marshlands. To the south, the Sycan Wild and Scenic River flows through the protected reaches of the Fremont National Forest, highlighting a transition from open wetlands to timbered slopes. Notable water sources such as Cold Spring and the drainage of Dry Cr are clearly marked, providing essential data for those studying the environmental management and natural history of this preserved Oregon wilderness. The map is particularly useful for understanding the modern boundary of the national forest and the intricate network of streams that define this specific quadrangle.
