Yukon Aerial Photograph Flight Lines 1981-1990

Flight Lines 1981 to 1990 is a geospatial dataset from the Government of Yukon's GeoYukon platform. It contains the digitized flight line locations for aerial photographs taken over the Yukon territory. The data was created through heads-up digitization of paper flight line index maps.

Use Cases

• Map historical flight line paths to analyze aerial survey coverage patterns across Yukon.
• Georeference historical aerial photographs using the digitized flight line location data.
• Study changes in land use or environmental features by linking imagery from the 1981-1990 period to these flight paths.

Strengths

• Data covers a defined 10-year period from 1981 to 1990.
• Produced by the authoritative Government of Yukon and distributed via the official GeoYukon platform.
• Digitized from original paper flight line index maps, providing a structured geospatial record.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column details, and sample data are unavailable, limiting analytical assessment.
• Data format is ESRI REST, which may require specific GIS software for access and analysis.
• The dataset's spatial accuracy is dependent on the original paper maps and digitization process.
