The Yukon Road Network is the authoritative source of road data for Yukon. This dataset represents road centrelines for road features administered by Government of Yukon. Road features not administered by Government of Yukon are supplied by Canvec Road Network. Please contact...

The Adaptive Management Framework for Yukon placer mining is complemented by traditional knowledge and monitoring of water quality objectives, aquatic health, and economic health. The aquatic health monitoring program is governed by the Aquatic Health Monitoring Protocol. The Protocol describes...

Broad Ecosystem Units were mapped using predictive modeling methods from various data sources (ranging from 1:50,000 to 1:250,000 in scale) and are referenced to the CanVec digital spatial framework (1:50,000). Broad Ecosystem Units (BEU) are a level in the Yukon bioclimate ecosystem...

This GIS dataset is a Yukon-wide compilation of surficial geology lines derived from 15 published and unpublished 1:20,000 and 1:25,000 scale surficial geology maps produced by the YGS and City of Whitehorse. Surficial geology line features captured in this compilation include: surficial...

1:250,000 NTDB Wetlands

The Yukon is underlain by a great variety of rock types ranging in age from Early Proterozoic to Recent. The various rock types are characterized by different densities and this map show those variations at the regional scale, with dense rocks represented by warm colours and lighter rocks shown...

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...

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...

The Yukon Geological Survey has compiled a collection of papers, theses, reports and maps that describe permafrost in the Yukon. These reports have been footprinted and indexed to make them easier to find spatially. Distributed from GeoYukon by the Government of Yukon . Discover more digital map...

Traditional territories of Yukon first nations and settlement areas of Inuvialuit and Tetlit Gwich'in within the Yukon Territory. A Traditional Territory is an area of the Yukon that the people of a First Nation have traditionally used. A First Nation's Settlement Lands fall inside the boundaries...
