1:10K Cultural Annotation

A claim is a parcel of land located or granted for hard rock mining. A claim also includes any ditches or water rights used for mining the claim and all other things belonging to or used in the working of the claim for mining purposes. A claim is a rectangular plot of ground that does not exceed 1,500' X 1,500'. All angles of a claim must be right angles, except in the cases where a boundary line of a previously located claim is adopted as common to both locations. The Quartz Mining Act is available at http://www.gov.yk.ca/legislation/acts/qumi.pdf Visit http://www.emr.gov.yk.ca/mining/mineral_tenure_commissioners_land_yukon.... for detail on how to stake, record and maintain a Quartz Claim.

Physiographic annotation captured at 1:1,000,000 scale against the Digital Chart of the World (DCW) base using Canada Department of Energy, Mines and Resources Surveys & Mapping Branch 1:1,000,000 Yukon Territory Map for the Yukon and surrounding area.

A 1:10,000 version of annotation labels for the Whitehorse Vegetation Inventory. The field work for the inventory was carried out during the winter of 2004/2005 with the project delivered by the contractor in October 2005. Delineation was based on 1:10,000 black and white photography acquired by the City of Whitehorse in 2001. Mapping and DTM were available for this project based on the 2001 photography.

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 development. The dataset covers 18 watersheds within the Yukon Territory and employs a single-line hydraulic network to connect all identified NTDB watercourse reaches. Spatial data for watercourses, gradient (based on elevation), water quality (total suspended solids), currently known Chinook and chum salmon spawning areas and previous placer mining development have been corrected to produce an integrated, topologically connected dataset. The dataset contains approximately 1,153,179 reach segments and over 80,000 water bodies. The dataset is used by a predictive analysis model in order to identify a /score/ for individual stream reaches and watersheds that ultimately identifies fish habitat suitability based on the key environmental indicators. The dataset extent is limited within 18 watershed boundaries in the Yukon Territory. Minor overlap exists outside of Yukon geopolitical boundaries in order to maintain hydraulic networks for watersheds that flow from or through Alaska and British Columbia. The following watersheds form the principle boundaries of the dataset: Big Creek, Big Salmon River, Forty Mile River Indian River, Klondike River, Mayo River McQuesten River, Nisutlin River, Nordenskiold River Pelly River, Sixty Mile River, Southern Lakes (Yukon) Stewart River, White River*, Yukon River North Yukon River South, Alsek River, Liard River *Note - A small portion of the headwaters of the Tanana River (Yukon) watershed is associated within the boundaries of the White River watershed.

Distribution (range) polygons were assembled by regional SARA biologists using the best available information, including COSEWIC status reports, recovery potential assessments, academic literature, and expert opinion. These spatial data support the protection, recovery and conservation of species listed as Extirpated, Endangered, Threatened or Special Concern under SARA. Species distributions are also described and displayed in Recovery Strategies, Action Plans and/or Management Plans. Discrepancies may exist between the distribution data shown in a species SARA recovery document and the current spatial data. Please contact DFO for more information on any data discrepancies. Please refer to the metadata included with the data for full entity attribute information

The Resource Management Area (RMA) dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent the resource management areas of the 17 Integrated Resource Plans (IRP) - Subregional in Alberta. This dataset does not include the RMAs of Local IPR plans due to the resource restraint. Future enhancement of this data set to include Local IRP plans is feasible when resources are available. A Resource Management Area is an area identified within a Sub-Regional IRP plan for more detailed land and resource management intent on a landscape assessment. Generally, a Resource Management Area is characterized by an intent statement and detailed resource management objectives and guidelines. However, there are IRP plans which have their own specific RMA definitions. Plans include, Lakeland Sub-Regional IRP: A RMA is a geographic area of common resource management intent. There is a management intent statement for each resource management area. The intent statement expresses the resource priorities for the area. Kananaskis Country Sub-Regional IRP: RMA areas identify broad units of land within the planning area which have distinct management intents and specific management objectives.
