2015 Map of Phelps Mountain

About this map

Phelps Mtn stands as the central landmark in this high-elevation portion of the Shoshone National Forest, where the terrain is defined by the sharp ridges of the Absaroka Range. The Greybull River cuts across the northern edge of the sheet, fed by a complex drainage network including Piney Cr, Willow Cr, and Jack Cr. Human activity in this wilderness area is centered on resource access and high-altitude navigation, evidenced by the Four Bear Oil Field Rd in the northeast and the winding Phillips Mt Rd that climbs toward the mountain peaks. The map reveals the intricate water system of the eastern Absarokas, tracing numerous smaller seasonal and perennial streams such as Kay Cr, Trish Cr, and Frances Fork as they navigate the steep descent from the timberline.
