A 150 centimetre elevation raster of the of Kaskawulsh Glacier in Kluane National Park is now available in the Yukon government Elevation image service.

This elevation raster represents a digital surface model, and was generated using 50 centimetre 2017 stereo satellite imagery. This service can be viewed in any Yukon Government Web Mapping Applications such as GeoYukon using the Elevation layer, or by connecting directly to the Satellites_HighResolution image service using the url: http://mapservices.gov.yk.ca/arcgis/rest/services/ in an Open Geospatial Consortium compliant GIS software client such as ArcGIS or Q-GIS. 

For Yukon government employees: this elevation raster can be viewed internally using the Elevation layerfile available internally here: \\CSWPROD\Layerfiles\Elevation\

If you have any questions about Yukon government elevation data, please email Geomatics.Help@gov.yk.ca.

Government of Yukon Energy, Mines and Resources in conjunction with Environment have released a new dataset in CSW: Wetlands – 10k.

The layerfile in under \\cswprod\layerfiles\Biophysical\

This dataset currently identifies wetlands in the Indian River valley.

CryoGeographic Consulting, in association with Palmer Environmental Consulting Group Inc., provided Yukon Energy, Mines and Resources and Yukon Environment with the results of the mapping and classification of wetlands and adjacent upland habitat in the Indian River valley and its major tributaries. This report and its accompanying map set have been updated to reflect study area expansion and additional field reconnaissance completed in the summer of 2017. Interpretation of shallow water wetlands within disturbed landscapes was completed by Ducks Unlimited Canada and incorporated.

 If you have any questions about the content of this dataset, please contact elc@gov.yk.ca

 This dataset is now on the geomatics yukon ftpsite (ftp://ftp.geomaticsyukon.ca/GeoYukon/Biophysical/Wetlands_10k/) and will be added to GeoYukon in the coming weeks.

There is a new Yukon Basemap available for the Yukon which includes an updated road network and the latest topographic information from the CanVec layers. 

It is available on the GeoYukon application and via the web service for other applications:

http://mapservices.gov.yk.ca/arcgis/rest/services/Yukon_Basemap_Cache/MapServer

This basemap will replace the previous Basemap (BaseMap_Cache), which is based on older roads information and the old National Topographic Database layers. This basemap service is considered to be legacy.

This feature class identifies active areas designated for personal use woodcutting where harvesting dead or downed fuelwood can occur for purposes such as home heating. Certain areas have seasonal restrictions or additional terms and conditions. A forest resources permit is required to cut in these areas; this free permit authorizes a limit of 25m3(11 cords) of firewood. Failure to have a permit or carry it with you when cutting could result in enforcement action.

If you have any questions about the content of this dataset, please contact forestry@gov.yk.ca

This dataset is now on the geomatics yukon ftpsite and will be added to GeoYukon in the coming weeks
