The Land Planning Branch manages subdivision requests anywhere in Yukon, other than Whitehorse or Dawson. In order to divide or reconfigure any privately titled lot a subdivision approval is required. In the creation of new parcels from Yukon land, a subdivision application is made by Land Client Services, Land Management Branch on behalf of the applicant.     Subdivision applications are typically decided upon within a 90 day timeline. Notification is often provided to property owners in the application area as well as publicly in the form of newspapers. Decisions for approval include conditions which must be followed to receive survey plan approval. Contact subdivision land use planner for more information at [[land.planning@yukon.ca](.underline)](mailto:land.planning@yukon.ca) .     Features shown in this dataset are comprised of the project outlines only and don"t represent the proposed parcels or boundary alignments. They are derived from the surveyed parcel fabric or sketches provided by the applicants.     This dataset is maintained by the Land Management Branch.   Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yuko](https://yukon.ca/maps) .

Land under administration and control of Government of Yukon and disposed of by the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (EMR), Land Management Branch in the form of active licences of occupation. A licence grants permission to do something which without the licence would not be allowable. Land Management Branch licences typically permit the construction and maintenance of power, telephone, water or sewer utilities on Commissioner's land. Licences of occupation are linear in nature and often extend long distances, hence the requirement for a separate feature class.

A Notation is used to identify an interest in land under administration and control of Government of Yukon for a specific purpose by an interested party, usually another government department (OGD). The interest may be a concern for public safety, wildlife habitat, possible future development or other. A notation confers no land rights.

Land under administration and control of Government of Yukon, disposed of by the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (EMR), Land Management Branch. This feature class includes: Agreement for Sale: a contract between two or more parties to sell and purchase land. The contract identifies conditions and terms of the transaction. Lease: a special contract between a property owner (landlord) and a person wanting temporary enjoyment and use of the property (tenant) in exchange for rent paid to the property owner. Easement: a right of passage over a neighbour's land or waterway. Reservation (or Reserve): sets aside land for other government departments (OGD) or interested party through an OGD, to be used for a specific purpose. A reserve does not give tenure to the land and is not considered a disposition of land. Does not include applications, licences, notations or agricultural land.

Land under administration and control of Government of Yukon, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources (EMR), Agriculture Branch. Includes active applications for agricultural land including: (1) Agreement for Sale: A contract between two or more parties to sell and purchase land. The contract identifies conditions and terms of the transaction. (2) Lease: A special contract between a property owner (landlord) and a person wanting temporary enjoyment and use of the property (tenant) in exchange for rent paid to the property owner.

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](https://data.geology.gov.yk.ca/Compilation/33) (YGSIDS) or GeoYukon. A .lyr file is [provided](https://data.geology.gov.yk.ca/Compilation/33) 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.
