2015 Map of Francs Peak

About this map

Kirwin sits deep in the high alpine environment of the Absaroka Range, where the headwaters of the Wood River meet the steep slopes of the Shoshone National Forest. This 2015 survey details a landscape defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Francs Peak and Chief Mtn down to the dramatic Meadow Creek Basin. The map shows evidence of the region’s mining heritage through landmarks like the Mattice Tunnel and the Kirwin Trl, which provides access to this isolated mountain settlement. Water systems are prominent, with the Greybull River and its various tributaries such as Francs Fork and Avalanche Cr carving through the peaks. To the east, Jojo Mtn and Jojo Lake stand as landmarks near the boundary of T46N R103W, while the Greybull Pass serves as a critical geographic crossing between Brown Mtn and Mt Crosby.
