Surficial geology of Kiyera Lake (115G/15), Yukon (1: 50 000 scale).
The Kiyera Lake map area straddles the northwestern extent of the Nisling Range. Broad treeless uplands dominate the landscape with summits reaching above 1800 m above sea level. Upland surfaces are characterized by weathered bedrock colluvium, tors and sporadically distributed till deposits from former alpine glaciers in cirques. Upland surficial materials are affected by active periglacial processes such as cryoturbation, nivation and solifluction.
Le gouvernement du Yukon reconnaît l’existence des territoires traditionnels des peuples autochtones partout au Yukon et souligne leur intendance de la terre et de l’eau ainsi que leur lien ancestral avec le territoire.
