Map with all coordinates: 
The Nahanni Range Road was completed in the early 1960s. It leads from Watson Lake together with the Robert Campbell Highway to Cantung Junction. There the road turns east from the highway and leads across the border to the Northwest Territories to a mine known either as Cantung ( Can ada Tung sten Mining Corporation) or under the name of the mined element Tungsten (English for tungsten ) . The section between Watson Lake and Cantung Junction is officially only part of the Robert Campbell Highway.
The Nahanni Range Road is unpaved throughout and is not recommended for general private traffic. Originally two thirds of the road were owned by the territory, which is why there were also campsites along the road . The rest of the street was owned by the mine; this section was also public, but there was no infrastructure along the road. When the mine closed in 1986, the road was used less and less and maintenance became increasingly difficult. Since the mine was put back into operation in 2003, the road was restored, but it is not recommended for private transport.
