Yukon Crown Grant Land Rights From Early 1900s

Yukon data represents the location of Crown grants used by the Government of Canada in and around the early 1900s to issue interests in land. The dataset details grants that may include rights to mines and minerals, including quartz, affecting subsequent mineral claim staking.

Use Cases

• Map the spatial location of Crown grants to analyze historical land distribution patterns in the Yukon.
• Identify areas where quartz or placer mineral claim staking is restricted based on the rights included in historical Crown grants.
• Study the relationship between early 1900s land grants and current mineral resource management using the grant location data.

Strengths

• Data is provided by the authoritative Government of Yukon through its GeoYukon platform.
• Dataset was last updated in March 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Specific data volume, such as row count or number of geographic features, is unknown.
• Column names and a data sample are unavailable, limiting understanding of the data structure.
