Abstract: Yukon Place Names are derived from the Yukon Place Name Program Database, which is the Government of Yukon's repository for storing toponymic data. The database includes information on the location, history and status of official place names in the Yukon. Although the data has been checked for correctness, there still may be errors. Please report any errors to the Yukon Toponymist: Geographical.Names@yukon.caIf you wish to propose a name for a geographic feature please visit https://yukon.ca/en/geographical-place-names. Distributed from GeoYukon by the Government of Yukon. Discover more digital map data and interactive maps from Yukon’s digital map data collection. For more information: geomatics.help@yukon.ca
Purpose: To be used to identify official and official alternative place names in the Yukon. It is intended to be a general reference for high level mapping.
