Nusatsum Mountain

Nusq’lst Mountain (2,575 m/8,448 feet), is a mountain in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, located near the Nusatsum River and south of and between the communities of Firvale and Hagensborg. The peak can be seen from Highway 20. The mountain is the equivalent of Mount Ararat in the traditions of the Nuxalk, as the place where survivors found refuge from the Great Flood. The landform's toponym was officially adopted on March 13, 1947, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Other spellings of Nusatsum seen on older maps include "Nootsatsum", "Noosatum" and "Nutsatsum".
