Yukon Aerial Photography Flight Lines 1961-1970

Flight lines of Yukon aerial photographs from 1961 to 1970. The dataset was produced by the Government of Yukon through heads-up digitization of paper flight line index maps. It is distributed via the GeoYukon platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial patterns and density of historical aerial survey coverage across the Yukon from 1961 to 1970.
• Integrate flight line geometry with other geospatial layers for environmental or land-use change studies.
• Use digitized flight line paths as a reference for locating and cataloging original aerial photograph archives.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined 10-year historical period from 1961 to 1970.
• Produced and published by the authoritative Government of Yukon.
• Digitized from original paper index maps, providing a structured geospatial record.

Limitations

• No row count, column details, or sample data are available to assess dataset scale and structure.
• The underlying aerial photographs are not included, only the flight line paths.
• Data format is primarily ESRI REST, which may require specific GIS software for full use.
