Yukon Cultural Area Features at 1:50,000 Scale

Cultural Features Polygon - 50k is a geospatial dataset from the Government of Yukon's National Topographic Database. It contains polygon features representing cultural areas across the Yukon territory, based on Edition 2.x of the NTDB. The data is provided via GeoYukon for public access and digital mapping applications.

Use Cases

• Analyze the spatial distribution of cultural area features across Yukon for land-use planning.
• Integrate cultural polygon features with other NTDB layers for comprehensive terrain analysis.
• Serve cultural area polygons via ESRI REST services for interactive web mapping applications.

Strengths

• Data is derived from the authoritative National Topographic Database (NTDB) Edition 2.x.
• Features are mapped at a detailed 1:50,000 scale for the Yukon region.
• Maintained and distributed by the official Government of Yukon geomatics department.

Limitations

• The specific number of rows (polygons) and column attributes is unknown.
• Data is provided only in ESRI REST and HTML formats, limiting direct analysis in some GIS tools.
• Without sample data or a schema, the specific attributes of each cultural feature are unclear.
