1969 Map of Francs Peak

About this map

The mining settlement of Kirwin sits deep in the high country of the Shoshone National Forest, surrounded by a dense concentration of early extraction sites. This 1969 field-checked survey reveals the complex subterranean network of the era, from the Gold Reef Tunnel to the Wolf Shaft. The geography is defined by the Greybull River and its numerous tributaries like Wood Creek and Meadow Creek, which carved out the basins that miners used to access rich mineral veins.
