Southeast Alaska Field Trip hosted by the Yukon Geological Survey for GAC/MAC 2016

This high sensitivity aeromagnetic survey was carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys (Goldak) on behalf of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) between January 25th and March 26th, 2011. Aircraft equipment operated included three cesium vapour magnetometers, a GPS real-time and post-corrected...

This aeromagnetic survey was carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys from February 17, 2014 to March 21, 2014. The data were collected using split-beam cesium vapour magnetometers mounted in each of the tail booms of 2 Piper Navajo aircraft. Nominal traverse and control line spacings were 400 and...

The field plots were used to help during the photo interpretation process. The plots provided essential information to interpreters to relate photo observed attributes with field measurements. The use of ground-truthing (field plots) to cross check the accuracy of the aerial photography data is a...

Residual Total Magnetic Field, Aeromagnetic Survey of the Frances Lake Area, Yukon, NTS 105-A/10 and parts of 105-A/6, 7, 9, 11

This high sensitivity aeromagnetic survey was carried out by Goldak Airborne Surveys (Goldak) on behalf of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) between January 25th and March 26th, 2011. Aircraft equipment operated included three cesium vapour magnetometers, a GPS real-time and post-corrected...

New geochemical data from re-analysis of archived stream sediment samples have been assessed using weighted sums modeling and catchment basin analysis as described in the methodology report that accompanies this map (YGS Open File 2015-10). Both commodity and pathfinder element abundances are...

Permafrost probability mapping for southern Yukon and northern British Columbia

1:50,000 NTDB Contour Lines. Based on Edition 2.x.

Land administered by Government of Yukon, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (EMR), for which Status = Closed. Includes any land parcels closed for any reason.

/KFN-WRFN Overlap Resolution Boundary/ means the boundary which, for the purposes of Settlement Agreements, eliminates the KFN-WRFN Overlapping Area.

This feature displays air photo line number and is to be used in conjunction with the CSW_FORESTRY.PHOTO_NUMBER_ ANNO_40K.The associated air photos from these flight lines were used in the interpretation of the Vegetation Inventory polygon feature. The annotation is at a fixed scale, and is...

The administration of coal projects in the Yukon is governed under the Territorial Lands (Yukon) Act (TLYA) and the Coal Regulation enabled under the TLYA. The land use permits necessary for coal exploration and development are issued by the Energy Mines and Resources Lands Branch under the TLYA....

Cultural annotation captured at 1:50,000 scale. Part of the digital NTDB (National Topographic Data Base) from NRCAN (Natural Resources Canada)

The GSC conducted stream sediment and water surveys in Yukon between 1976 and 2006. Original data has become outdated due to poor detection levels and limited key metals determined. In an effort to improve the geochemical dataset, the Yukon Geological Survey set about having stream sediment...

Well capture zones are intended to identify potential areas of risk to aquifers where the release of contaminants could affect the water quality of community wells. The information was compiled as a discreet project under the 'Yukon Water Strategy' and represents a 'snapshot in time' of the...

The Yukon Territory is underlain by a great variety of rock types ranging in age from Early Proterozoic to Recent and representing diverse environments including epicratonic basins, subsiding shelves, foreland basins, island arcs and deep ocean basins. Episodes of compressional and extensional...

This map of the total magnetic field was derived from data acquired during an aeromagnetic survey carried out by EON Geosciences Inc. during the period between April 12, 2010 to June 2, 2010. The data were recorded using a split-beam cesium vapour magnetometer (sensitivity = 0.005 nT) mounted in...

National Road Network Ferry Segment data of Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, Alberta, and British Columbia. The data sets were clipped to the Yukon Territory CSW extent and merged. The NRN product is distributed in the form of thirteen provincial or territorial datasets and consists of two...

Biophysical or ecosystem mapping is built on the principle that vegetation composition and distribution responds in predictable ways to specific abiotic terrain conditions. Terrain (surficial geology) mapping and subsequent stratification into ecosystem units forms the basis for local-scale...
