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 agencies, including the Geological Survey of Canada, YGS, Yukon Government, universities, and the City of Whitehorse. All original feature descriptions have been preserved and also converted to standardized values using the Yukon terrain classification system. The compilation includes 4 GIS datasets and supporting documents available for download via YGS integrated data system (YGSIDS) or GeoYukon. A .lyr file is provided to symbolize feature classes and differentiate overlapping maps at different scales. Additionally, there is a surficial geology map index. The polygon attributes captured include surficial material, texture, age, surface expression, and geomorphological processes. Line features include geological contacts, glacial limits, glacial landforms (cirques, arêtes, eskers, meltwater channels, moraines), and non-glacial landforms (faults, lineaments, landslides, escarpments). Point features include field station, fossil and sample locations, glacial landforms (erratics, kames, kettles, drumlins, flutings), permafrost features (pingos, palsas, patterned ground, thermokarst depressions), and other non-glacial landforms (landslides, tors). The map index provides information on each map publication such as author, map title, map scale, publisher. These data are valuable for land-use applications in the territory, including: mineral and placer exploration, geotechnical engineering, infrastructure planning, granular resource assessments, permafrost modeling, agricultural assessments, forest management, and biophysical or ecological land classification.

Represent the competitive Yukon Oil and Gas Rights disposition process governed by the Yukon's Oil and Gas Act and administered by Government of Yukon. The disposition process has been designed so that the oil and gas industry is able to request locations for which they intend to submit bids. Request for Posting (RFP) - an expression of interest from industry to acquire oil and gas rights in a specific location.

The Teslin flood hazard mapping study was completed between May 2023 and October 2024. Learn more by visiting the Yukon Flood Atlas. In the Resources section below, you can find the project summary, technical report, “What We Heard” report, GIS data files, and flood maps for specific areas. “AEP” in the flood map filenames below refers to “Annual Exceedance Probability”, the annual likelihood of a flood occurring, expressed as a percentage. The flood scenarios used for mapping in the Yukon are the following: 0.5% event (1-in-200 chance of occurring in any year), 1% event (1-in-100 chance of occurring in any year), and 5% event (1-in-20 chance of occurring in any year). For more information see What is flood mapping? or email FloodMapping@yukon.ca. See also Carmacks flood hazard maps Southern Lakes flood hazard maps

This compilation includes published Nd, Hf, Sr and Pb (plus minor O, S and C) isotopic data from 1722 whole-rock powders and feldspar separates. About 1200 of these samples are located in Yukon and the remainder are located in British Columbia, Alaska or Northwest Territories. This compilation of whole-rock and feldspar isotopic data builds off of a compilation that Kristen Rasmussen (2013) did as part of her doctoral thesis at the University of British Columbia. To allow easier integration into a user's GIS platform, and for greater spatial querying of the data, the "database" is presented as a "flat file" (i.e., shapefile, geodatabase and text formats). This whole-rock and feldspar isotope database will be subject to periodic updates as new data are acquired through ongoing mapping, exploration and other research activities. Any errors, omissions or new data known to users should be reported to the Yukon Geological Survey. Your feedback contributes to improving the accuracy of the geoscience databases for Yukon.

In and around the early 1900s, the Government of Canada used Crown grants to issue interests in land. If a Crown grant includes rights to mines and minerals, including quartz, in the location of the grant, quartz claims cannot be staked over the location of that Crown grant. If the Crown grant included both placer and quartz rights then neither type of claim can be staked over the Crown grant. This data represents the location of crown grants in the Yukon.
