Title Yukon Detailed Soil Survey Alternate Title

Abstract The Yukon Detailed Soil Survey dataset series consists of geo-referenced soil polygons with linkages to attribute data found in the associated Component File (CMP), Soil Names File (SNF) and Soil Layer File (SLF). Together, these datasets describe the spatial distribution of soils and associated landforms in the major valleys of the Yukon.

Purpose



Spatial Resolution various Geographic Description Yukon

Supplemental Information Soil survey is an inventory of soils and their spatial distribution over a landscape. Soil survey reports contain two parts. The first part is a soil map or series of maps at a particular scale with coding for each soil. Most soil maps also include a supporting Soil Survey Report document that contains background information such as how the soil survey was conducted, and an explanation of interpretive criteria and a summary of the area occupied by various soil types. Detailed soil surveys at 1:20,000 identify more of the variation in soil types across smaller landscapes, as compared to Reconnaissance (1:100,000 or greater) soil surveys. Detailed soil survey information is much more accurate and reliable for making decisions at the farm-level. The Yukon Detailed Soil Survey dataset is compiled from two sets of soil surveys: (1) Reconnaissance Soil Surveys and (2) Detailed Soil Surveys. The reconnaissance soil reports at a scale of 1:125,000, 1:126,720 cover the major valleys of the Yukon including the areas of Carmacks, Clinton Creek, Dawson, Faro, Mayo-Stewart, Pelly, Ross River, Snag, Takhini-Dezadeash, Watson Lake and Whitehorse-Carcross (Day 1966; Rostad et.al. 1978). These maps describe various land attributes such as soil, parent material, landforms, topography, drainage and soil capability for arable agriculture; grazing capability and an evaluation of the soil's engineering uses. The Detailed Soil Surveys (2) at a scale of 1:20,000 include the Whitehorse Area Detailed Soil Survey Maps

Maps (a) (b) describe various land attributes such as soil, parent material, landforms, topography, drainage, permafrost and soil capability for arable agriculture; Map (c) and accompanying report contain a general description of the surveyed area, soils, physical features, factors affecting soil development, wetlands and an evaluation of the soil's engineering and urban uses. Yukon Detailed Soil Survey linework is compiled from tiles of different soil maps. The spatial resolution and accuracy is variable and is dependent on the original source. In most cases polygons along adjoining tiles have not been edge matched to each other. See the Cross-Reference section for more details on the association between the polygons and attribute files.
