This is the south unit.  There is also a Nebo north unit.  You can also purchase both the north unit and south unit together in a bundle.\r\n\r\nOur mission was simple—create highly detailed, GPS-accurate maps for Utah’s premier big-game hunt units. Each map includes 3D hillshade, contour lines, public and private land boundaries, major roads, hydrology, and essential terrain features. Lose yourself in Utah’s steep Wasatch high country—yet NEVER GET LOST.\r\n\r\nThe Nebo Unit, anchored by the towering 11,928-foot Mount Nebo—the southernmost peak of the Wasatch Range—is one of the most rugged and dramatically varied big-game areas in Utah. The unit spans steep alpine peaks, brushy foothills, deep canyon systems, oak-covered slopes, aspen forests, conifer stands, sagebrush benches, and rolling high-country meadows. These contrasting habitats provide exceptional opportunities for mule deer, elk, and moose across a broad range of elevations and seasons.\r\n\r\nMule deer in the Nebo Unit rely heavily on elevation and cover. Early in the season, bucks bed in aspen groves, timber pockets, rocky outcrops, and the cool north-facing slopes of Nebo’s ridges and benches. They feed at dawn and dusk across sagebrush flats, grassy clearings, and brushy openings. As hunting pressure increases or weather changes, mule deer transition into lower-elevation foothills, oakbrush slopes, and rugged canyon breaks where dense vegetation and complex terrain offer concealment and escape routes.\r\n\r\nElk occupy much of the higher and mid-elevation terrain across the Nebo Unit, using dark timber pockets, steep benches, and broad ridgelines for bedding. Bulls often bugle from deep drainages, timber edges, and high-country bowls during the rut. Elk feed early and late in meadows, burn scars, grassy ridges, and open sage benches. As pressure grows, they move into more secluded basins or lower-lying timber where access becomes more difficult.\r\n\r\nMoose are commonly found in riparian corridors, willow flats, wet meadows, and drainages throughout the unit, particularly around the streams feeding Payson Canyon, Salt Creek Canyon, and the foothill wetlands.\r\n\r\nHunting the Nebo Unit demands strong physical endurance, strategic positioning, and advanced glassing skills. Much of the terrain is steep, with long ridgelines and deep canyons requiring careful planning. Many hunters begin their mornings on elevated vantage points overlooking basins, oakbrush hills, and meadows to spot early movement. Spot-and-stalk hunting is effective in open alpine terrain, but stalks must be carefully planned due to swirling canyon winds and steep approach angles. In thick timber or oakbrush, slow still-hunting near saddles, travel corridors, and bedding-to-feeding routes can be highly productive.\r\n\r\nLandownership across the Nebo Unit includes large expanses of Uinta–Wasatch–Cache National Forest, BLM land, State Trust parcels, and significant private holdings in lower-elevation valleys and foothills. Access is generally strong, but many approach routes and canyon entrances border private property, making accurate navigation crucial. Our map clearly outlines all landownership boundaries, hydrology, roads, trails, access points, and the terrain features that define wildlife movement across the Nebo landscape.\r\n\r\nHunters rely on our maps because they provide precise, GPS-accurate tracking in the Avenza app—even in deep timber, high alpine bowls, and narrow canyon systems where cell service is unreliable or nonexistent. The 3D hillshade layer reveals ridges, benches, saddles, cliffs, rockslides, canyon mouths, and subtle elevation changes—helping hunters instantly interpret terrain and locate bedding pockets, feeding areas, wallows, travel routes, and pack-out paths. The map layout avoids clutter while delivering every essential navigation tool. Confidently mark glassing knobs, water sources, bedding basins, stalk routes, stands, pack-out paths, and harvest locations.\r\n\r\nFor best field performance, switch your phone to airplane mode to preserve battery life and bring a backup charger or portable power source. Download your map before entering the unit, as reception varies significantly across the Nebo Wilderness and surrounding canyons. Pre-marking ridges, canyon systems, water sources, meadows, and likely movement corridors will greatly enhance your efficiency and success once the hunt begins.","brand":"Map the Xperience","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45704254455964,"sku":"1719450","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/7850\/5884\/files\/map-the-xperience-2025-utah-hunt-map-nebo-unit-north-map-1719450-preview-0_a598faaa-c7f2-48be-8468-48f3fb84c8ed.jpg?v=1765298129","url":"https:\/\/store.avenza.com\/products\/2025-utah-hunt-map-nebo-unit-north-map-the-xperience-map","provider":"Avenza Maps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
