Yukon Electoral Districts Boundaries From 2015 Revision

Electoral districts for Yukon, Canada, defined by the Electoral Districts Boundaries Act and revised in July 2015. The linework was created by interpreting legal boundaries using topographic, road network, and municipal data sources. The dataset is distributed by the Government of Yukon's GeoYukon platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze electoral district boundaries derived from the 1:50,000 scale National Topographic Database (NTDB) for spatial planning.
• Integrate district linework with the National Road Network (NRN) data for transportation and accessibility studies.
• Use the City of Whitehorse feature dataset to examine urban electoral boundaries within the territory.
• Apply the legal survey of Canada data referenced in the boundaries for cadastral or jurisdictional analysis.

Strengths

• Boundaries are legally defined by the Electoral Districts Boundaries Act (SY 2008, c. 14).
• Linework is constructed from authoritative sources including the 1:50,000 scale NTDB and National Road Network.
• Dataset reflects the official revision from July 2015.

Limitations

• The underlying source data (e.g., NTDB) may be updated independently, potentially creating temporal inconsistencies.
• The dataset's spatial accuracy is contingent on the interpretation of legal descriptions against base maps.
