1969 Map of Francs Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The high-altitude mining district of Kirwin serves as a focal point for this late 1960s survey of the Absaroka Range. Located within the Shoshone National Forest, this region is defined by its deep alpine basins and the extractive industry that once drove its remote economy. The map meticulously documents a high concentration of mining claims and infrastructure along the headwaters of the Wood Creek and the Greybull River. Notable operations such as the Anaconda Mine, Gold Reef Tunnel, and Mendota Mine are situated under the shadows of Francs Peak and Chief Mountain. The landscape is a network of steep ridges like Galena Ridge and high-altitude passes including Greybull Pass, illustrating the logistical challenges faced by prospectors in the Brown Basin and Meadow Creek Basin.
