Yukon Aerial Photo Center Points From 1951-1960

Yukon aerial photograph center points digitized from paper flightline index maps. The dataset covers a 10-year period from 1951 to 1960 and is distributed by the Government of Yukon.

Use Cases

• Georeference historical aerial photographs using the provided center point coordinates.
• Analyze spatial distribution and flightline patterns of mid-20th century aerial surveys in Yukon.
• Establish temporal baselines for land cover change studies by linking photo center points to the 1951-1960 date range.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Government of Yukon source, GeoYukon.
• Covers a defined 10-year historical period (1951-1960) for temporal analysis.
• Produced via digitization of original paper flightline index maps, preserving historical records.

Limitations

• Unknown sample size or total number of photo points limits assessment of spatial coverage density.
• Lacks detailed column specifications (e.g., coordinate system, photo IDs), requiring metadata investigation.
• Data is derived from digitized paper maps, which may introduce positional inaccuracies from the original source.
