General Information
Abstract: A report and map were prepared for Kwanlin Dün First Nation (KDFN) detailing the final results of a physical land development constraints (LDC) mapping project within the Whitehorse city limits portion of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation Traditional Territory. The report characterizes and maps constraints associated with bedrock, erosion and mass movements, soil composition, topography, permafrost distribution, water table depth, and flooding recurrence in the Whitehorse City Limits. Further analysis of channel planform evolution and bank recession along portions of Yukon and Takhini Rivers within the study area was completed. The LDC mapping was based on interpretation of 1: 15,000 scale surficial geology mapping recently completed by the Yukon Geological Survey (YGS) for the Whitehorse area (Lipovsky, Open File 2023-1). Published with permission from KDFN.
