Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway, WY. Steamboat Mountain is located at N. latitude 44-3-5, W. longitude 110-41-50.

JBR Environmental Consultants, Inc. prepared the assessment for the two companies for submittal to the National Park Service. The environmental assessment describes a no action alternative and two action alternatives. Union Telephone and CommNet Cellular, Inc.'s proposed action includes the installation of an underground power line to the site, two 8x18x9 wooden buildings, and a 70′ wooden tower, including various wireless communication devices, at the site.
