Yukon Aerial Photography Flight Lines 1951-1960

Flight lines from Yukon aerial photographs were digitized from paper index maps covering the decade from 1951 to 1960. The Government of Yukon produced this geospatial dataset, which was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze flight_line geometry to map historical aerial survey coverage patterns across Yukon.
• Use digitized flight_line paths to correlate with archived aerial photographs from the 1950s.
• Study the evolution of geographic data collection by examining the spatial distribution of flight lines over a ten-year period.

Strengths

• Covers a distinct ten-year historical period from 1951 to 1960.
• Produced by the authoritative Government of Yukon via GeoYukon.
• Data was updated in March 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and column structure limit analytical planning.
• Lack of sample data or described attributes prevents assessment of feature depth.
• Original data source is paper maps, which may introduce digitization inaccuracies.
