Tukgahgo Mountain

Tukgahgo Mountain is a 4,675-foot peak in the Takshanuk Mountains of southeastern Alaska near Chilkoot Lake, Skagway, and Vanderbilt Point, with the headwaters of Shakuseyi Creek on its eastern slope. Its Indigenous name comes from the Tlingit people and was recorded by geologist Eugene C. Robertson and published by the United States Geological Survey in 1952, preserving a local name in official mapping. The mountain is also significant geologically: studies found metabasalts, amphibolites, intrusive rocks tied to the Mount Kashagnak pluton, and quartz veins along the Tukgahgo Mountain fault containing silver, gold, copper, palladium, and platinum. No mining operations have been reported there.
