Abstract: A placer claim is a parcel of land located or granted for placer mining. A claim also includes any ditches or water rights used for mining the claim and all other things belonging to or used in the working of the claim for mining purposes. A placer claim is a rectangular plot of ground. All angles of a claim must be right angles, except in the case where a boundary line of a previously located claim is adopted as common to both locations. The length of a regular placer claim from post one to post two is 500 feet along a baseline. Co-discovery claims must not exceed 1250 feet each and single discovery claims must not exceed 1500 feet.Distributed from the GeoYukon digital map data collection by Yukon government. Discover more digital map data and interactive maps at Yukon government’s Open Maps collection.For more information: Geomatics.Help@gov.yk.ca
Purpose: To represent the location of Placer Claims in the Yukon.
