This compilation sources data primarily from the Yukon Geological Survey’s (YGS) field projects and archival collections, and from the Geological Survey of Canada’s (GSC) Canadian rock physical property database (Enkin, 2014, 2018). The data distribution is far from uniform but covers a range of lithology classes and terranes. The compilation of data from archival samples is ongoing, and the dataset will continue to grow as new samples are collected for YGS projects and pass through the survey’s physical properties lab. The foundation of this dataset originates from samples collected for a mapping project in western Yukon led by Dirk Tempelman-Kluit from 1970 to 1972 (Tempelman-Kluit and Curie, 1978) and subsequently digitized by the Geological Survey of Canada and Mira Geoscience (2014). This dataset alone contributed 1642 records to the compilation. Map unit names from this original dataset were modernized for this compilation to reflect current understanding of Yukon geology. Systematic measurements of magnetic susceptibility and specific gravity have been incorporated into the workflow when archiving rock samples from YGS projects. Additional magnetic susceptibility measurements are also routinely collected in the field by YGS geologists. This will continue to expand the dataset. Rock samples are not collected specifically for the physical properties dataset but are well characterized and have sufficient metadata to be incorporated into the dataset. Samples are not uniform in size or weight. The Yukon Geological Survey’s HS Bostock Core Library houses >10 000 Yukon rock samples from previous and ongoing geological studies. Archived collections provide a great opportunity to further expand the dataset in specific regions or areas lacking representation.

The Community Roads Names dataset was created to enable road labeling for Yukon Communities. Roads in the communities are mapped and the road names are attributed to allow labeling. The only communities included in the dataset are: Whitehorse and Dawson City. Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps).

Dataset of building footprints in the Yukon Territory. Building footprints were extracted from LiDAR orthophotos using deep learning. Manual corrections were applied to both erroneous and missed building extractions. The Regularize Building Footprint tool was used to reduce vertices and simplify the footprints. A tolerance of 1 was used, with a precision of 0.25. Distributed from [GeoYukon](https://yukon.ca/geoyukon) by the [Government of Yukon](https://yukon.ca/maps).

Electoral district boundaries are defined by the "Electoral Districts Boundaries Act" (S.Y. 2024, c. 14) and as amended. The linework was created by interpreting the 2008 Electoral District boundaries (amended in July 2015), and updating/modifying the boundaries to account for population growth and distribution, as of 2024. These boundaries were drawn and aligned using Natural Resource Canada’s CanVec Topographic Data at the 1: 50 000 scale, as well as the National Road Network (NRN), where applicable. This dataset is suitable for use in spatial analysis, planning, and geographic visualization at regional and municipal levels.

Hydro Features is composed of the network of Canadian surface waters. Hydro Features entities are: Watercourse, Water Linear Flow, Hydro Obstacle (falls, rapids…), Waterbody (lake, watercourse…), Permanent Snow and Ice, Water Well, and Spring. CanVec is a digital cartographic reference product of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). It originates from the best available data sources covering Canadian territory, offers quality topographical information in vector format, and complies with international geomatics standards. CanVec is a multi-source product coming mainly from the National Topographic Data Base (NTDB), the Mapping the North process conducted by the Canada Center for Mapping and Earth Observation (CCMEO), the Atlas of Canada data, the GeoBase initiative, and the data update using satellite imagery coverage (e.g. Landsat 7, Spot, Radarsat, etc.).

Geotechnical reports are indexed within a database maintained by HPW-TEB Geotechnical Unit. Meta data associated to each geotechnical report are captured within this indexing table, including report reference number, title, author, highway and km start and end. The table has been modified to include columns that aid in georeferencing geotechnical reports. Added columns include route ID, Latitude, and Longitude. Transportation Engineering Branch is continually improving its geographical information systems with a major focus on creating linear referencing routes within ArcGIS. Georeferencing geotechnical reports will utilize the linear referencing routes in creating points and line shape files by referencing the highway number and km points or ranges as defined within the indexing table.
