Small Yukon places

The following is a list and short description of places in the Yukon that may often be found on various maps, but whose population is too small to warrant their having their own article.

Dalton Post

'Dalton Post' or 'Shäwshe' is a former trading post and First Nations community on the Tatshenshini River. It was on the Dalton Trail near the Haines Highway. Today, it is a prime Pacific salmon fishing spot and serves as a base for whitewater rafting expeditions on the Tatshenshini and Alsek Rivers in the Tatshenshini-Alsek Park.

Jake's Corner

'Jake's Corner' is a spot on the road, at historical mile 866 of the Alaska Highway, at the junction with connections to the Tagish Road and the Atlin Road. There are a small number of area residents, the junction being best known for a gas station and café. The gas station has numerous examples of old machinery.

Johnson's Crossing

'Johnson's Crossing' is a spot on the road, at historical mile 836 of the Alaska Highway, at the junction of the Canol Road where the highway crosses the Teslin River. There are several area residents, and the junction is known for a café and gas station owned by a long-time Yukon family. The river below is crowded with Arctic Greyling.

Klukshu

'Klukshu''s more recent history is as a seasonal aboriginal fishing community, benefitting from a large Chinook salmon run. Located near the Haines Highway, it has no permanent population. Interpretive information is provided by the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations.

Little Salmon

'Little Salmon' is located on the Robert Campbell Highway between Faro and Carmacks, and stretches along the lake of the same name and the Yukon River. The only non-residential establishment is the Yukon government highway maintenance camp at Drury Creek. It was formerly an important settlement of the Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation.

Silver City

'Silver City', a historic mining town, is today only the residence of a small number of people, one household being a bed and breakfast establishment. It is located at historical mile 1053 of the Alaska Highway.

Stewart River

'Stewart River' is a former settlement at the juncture of the Yukon and Stewart Rivers. A few buildings and cabins remain, as well as private museum, which are threatened by erosion. It was founded as a trading post in the 1880s before the Klondike Gold Rush to serve placer miners working along the Stewart River.

Stewart Crossing

'Stewart Crossing' is located on the Klondike Highway at the junction with the Silver Trail. A Yukon government highway maintenance camp and a highway lodge are the most prominent facilities at the location, named for where the Mayo Road, as it was then known, crossed the Stewart River by means of a ferry from 1950 until completion of a bridge in the mid-1950s. There are area residents employed in the local camp and businesses.

Swift River

'Swift River' is basically a point on the road, a service stop on the Alaska Highway at historical mile 833. The only permanent population owns and operates, or is employed at, the area's commercial highway establishment. Other residents are transient, working at the Yukon government's highway maintenance camp.
