2021 Map of Francs Peak

About this map

Francs Peak stands as the dominant summit in this high-altitude corner of the Shoshone National Forest, marking the crest of the Absaroka Range. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of major drainage systems, including the Greybull River and the Wood River, which have carved deep basins like Brown Basin and Meadow Creek Basin. A network of historic pack trails, such as the Greybull River Trl and Upper Jack Creek Trl, provides the primary means of navigating these steep grades. Evidence of high-country prospecting appears at the Mattice Tunnel near the southern boundary, while the crossing at Greybull Pass illustrates the traditional routes used to traverse these subalpine divides. The presence of Jojo Lake and several smaller spur creeks highlights the complex hydrology of this wilderness area.
