Yukon Aerial Photography Flight Lines 1946-1950

Flight lines for Yukon aerial photographs captured between 1946 and 1950. Data was created through heads-up digitization of paper flight line index maps by the Government of Yukon.

Use Cases

• Map historical flight line density across the Yukon to analyze aerial survey coverage from 1946-1950.
• Digitize paper index maps to create a geospatial reference layer for historical aerial photography archives.
• Integrate flight line geometry with other historical geospatial datasets for change detection studies.

Strengths

• Covers a specific five-year historical period from 1946 to 1950.
• Digitized directly from authoritative paper flight line index maps by the territorial government.
• Distributed via the official GeoYukon platform, ensuring authoritative provenance.

Limitations

• No row count, column details, or sample data are provided, limiting analytical assessment.
• Data is derived from digitized paper maps, which may introduce positional inaccuracies from the original sources.
• Available only in ESRI REST and HTML formats, which may limit use in non-ESRI software environments.
