The Mount Jukes Road ( in length) was constructed by the
Hydro in the 1980s at the time the
Crotty Dam was made. It connects southern
Queenstown with
Darwin Dam, where the previously utilised
North Mount Lyell Railway formation between the
Linda Valley and Crotty was submerged by Lake Burbury. Two named glacial lakes in the upper part of the eastern side of the mountain are the Upper Lake Jukes and the Lower Lake Jukes. It is by the lakes that a number of small mines were started in the early years of the twentieth century.
Mount Huxley is located to the north and
Mount Darwin is located to the south.
