This GIS dataset is a Yukon-wide compilation of surficial geology points derived from 13 published and unpublished 1:250,000 scale surficial geology maps produced by the GSC and YGS. Point features captured include: field station, fossil and sample locations; glacial landforms such as erratics, kames, kettles, drumlins and flutings; permafrost features such as pingos, palsas, patterned ground and thermokarst depressions; and other non-glacial landforms such as landslides and tors.
