1988 Map of Sycan Marsh West

About this map

Sycan Marsh dominates the eastern portion of this high-altitude Oregon landscape, where the seasonal hydrology of the region is meticulously recorded. As shown in the late 1980s, the terrain transitions from the marshy lowlands of the Sycan River to the upland timber of the Fremont National Forest. Evidence of land use and human activity is scattered throughout, including several locations marked as Cinder Pit, likely supporting local road maintenance or forestry operations. The presence of the Camp Fifteen (Site) and the Carton Ranch provides specific points of interest for local historians studying early 20th-century logging and ranching heritage. Numerous water sources like Cold Spring, Coyote Creek, and Long Creek illustrate the drainage patterns critical to the surrounding watershed and the forest's ecosystem.
