The sub-series consists of maps that were created in the Canadian Geographic Information System. The Yukon and Northwest Territories Miscellaneous sub-series was part of the Canada Lands Data System Division, Lands Directorate data holdings that were managed in the Canadian Geographic Information System (CGIS). This sub-series includes the following six projects:
The Beaufort Sea (Project 201-2103): Coverages include: (9202) the Baseline Study presents the special distribution between water bodies and land coverages, overlayed with shoreline and the ecodistricts; (9203) Ecodistricts, depicts the areas to be overlayed with shoreline and Baseline Study 1 and 2; (9204) Shoreline, represents boundaries between land and water and distinguishes water types such as lakes (fresh water), rivers, marine water and the territorial boundaries.
The McKenzie Mountains (Project 201-2104): Coverages include: (9270) Mining, Oil and Gas Activity, polygon data depicts the mining, oil and gas activity overlayed with shoreline, geological data and baseline study. (8013) Mining and Oil and Gas Activitiy, provides similar point data; and (9271) provides Ecodistricts coverage.
The Lancaster Sound (Project 201-2105): Coverages include: (9319) Shoreline and Marine, depicts the boundaries between the land and water and the marine ecology in the large bodies of water. It also differentiates water types such as lakes (fresh water), rivers and ocean water. (9320) Conservation, depicts the conservation areas within the Lancaster Sound Study area; (9321) Ecodistricts, depicts the ecodistricts to be overlayed with shoreline, marine and convservation data.
The Viscount Melville Sound (Project 201-2106): Coverages include: (9311) Ecodistricts, depicts areas of the Sound to be overlayed with shoreline, conservation and marine data; (9312) Conservation, depicts conservation areas within the Viscount Melville Study area; (9310) Shoreline and Marine, depicts the boundaries between the land and water and the marine ecology in the large bodies of water and differentiates water types such as lakes fresh water)rivers and ocean water.
The Yukon Ecological Survey (Hodgson) (Project 560-2101): Coverages are of the Southern Lakes Region in the Yukon, and include: (9178) Aquatic, depicts drainage density, channel pattern, lake shape, fish species and stream features of the Region; (9224) Yukon Geology Data, depicts minimum-maximum elevation, aspect slope, soil texture, genetic material, surface expression and soil association; and (9225)Yukon ELS - Vegetation, depicts tree type, species, density, tree age and height.
Nahanni River Area (Project 471-2103). The EMR Study of the Nahanni River area, NTS 105I, contains the following coverages: (9258) Bedrock Geology; (9261) Watershed; (9273) Surficial Geology.
These projects also include numerous overlay coverages. One should refer to the finding aids to determine the focus of these thematic coverages and the associated coverage codes.
