2012 Map of Francs Peak

About this map

Kirwin stands as a focal point in this high-elevation landscape within the Absaroka Range, where mining history and alpine terrain converge. The presence of the Mattice Tunnel near the settlement underscores the area's subterranean industrial legacy, situated at the base of significant heights like Mount Crosby. Drainage patterns are defined by the Greybull River and the Wood River, which carve through deep basins such as Meadow Creek Basin and Brown Basin. High-altitude routes are marked by Greybull Pass, providing a transition between the steep ridges of Galena Ridge and Yellow Ridge. The map details a complex network of glacial and fluvial features, from the remote waters of Jojo Lake to the towering summit of Francs Peak, illustrating the hydrological headwaters that feed the surrounding Wyoming wilderness.
