2020 Map of Mount Tukuhnikivatz

About this map

Mt Tukuhnikivatz dominates the eastern high ground of the Manti-La Sal National Forest, overlooking a complex system of canyons and basins. This recent survey of the La Sal Mountains reveals an intricate network of trails and access roads, including the Gold Basin Trail and the Slaughter Flats Connector, which facilitate movement between the peaks and lower elevations. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, from the heights of South Mtn to the depths of Dorry Canyon and Black Canyon. Several seasonal and perennial water sources are identified, such as Squaw Springs and Slaughter Spring, which have historically provided vital water in this arid environment. The map provides precise detail for modern backcountry navigation, showing the relative positions of landmarks like Boren Mesa and the drainage patterns of Pack Cr and Brumley Cr.
