Yukon Land Withdrawal Orders Under Historic Resources Act

Yukon lands withdrawn from disposal are identified by Orders in Council authorized under the Historic Resources Act. The dataset includes both active and expired orders, with spatial views representing the regulations for geographic clarity.

Use Cases

• Map active land withdrawal orders spatially to visualize Yukon areas under Historic Resources Act protection.
• Analyze the distribution of expired versus active orders to understand regulatory changes over time.
• Link spatial order data to official OIC documents for detailed legal context on specific land withdrawals.

Strengths

• Data is split into spatial views by the authorizing Act, providing organized access.
• Includes both active and expired orders, offering a complete regulatory history.

Limitations

• GIS attributes lack details on different levels of land withdrawal, requiring consultation of source documents.
• Spatial views show only active data, limiting historical geographic analysis without the full table.
