Landscape hazard maps were completed as part of a community hazards mapping program coordinated by the Northern Climate ExChange (Yukon Research Centre, Yukon College). Potential landscape hazards were assessed under changing future conditions by incorporating a variety of data sets, including...

Residual total magnetic field, Aeromagnetic Survey of the Scroggie Creek and Wolverine Creek Areas, NTS 115O/2 and part of 115O/3

First vertical derivative of the magnetic field, Aeromagnetic Survey of the Scroggie Creek and Wolverine Creek Areas, NTS 115O/8 and part of 115O/7

The dataset contains data for watercourses (locations), watercourse gradient (based on elevation), water quality (total suspended solids), currently known Chinook and chum salmon spawning areas, areas of special consideration (fisheries or fish utilization by man) and previous placer mining...

The Yukon Geological Survey (YGS) has compiled over 195 surficial geology maps into a standardized GIS format, providing approximately 80% coverage of the territory. The maps range in scales from 1:250,000 to 1:10,000 with spatial overlap between scales. The original maps were produced by various...

This GIS dataset is a Yukon-wide compilation of surficial geology points derived from 13 published and unpublished 1:250,000 scale surficial geology maps produced by the GSC and YGS. Point features captured include: field station, fossil and sample locations; glacial landforms such as erratics,...

1:250,000 NTDB Physiographic Point Features

Residual Total Magnetic Field, Aeromagnetic Survey of the Frances Lake Area, Yukon, NTS 105-A/15 and parts of 105-A/14, 16, H/2, 3, 4

Yukon parks and protected areas captured from DCW 1:1,000,000 scale dataset. Boundaries were generalized from survey information captured by Legal Survey Division of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan).

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...
