McConnell report

In the summer of 1907, R.G. McConnell of the (Canadian) Geological Survey Office, visited the Whitehorse Copper Belt. He prepared a report that was published in 1909. It describes each mine site and the surrounding geology. It also includes several maps, the most interesting of which shows the complete Copper Belt area with contours, railways, roads, and trails marked.

The Whitehorse Copper Belt, Yukon Territory; McConnell, R.G., Geological Survey of Canada, Separate Report no. 1050, 1909, 81 pages (8 sheets) is available online here:

• Yukon EMR Library. The report itself is in searchable PDF format. Unfortunately, the largest map (separate PDF) is not very clear.
• Bibliothèque nationale de France. This is a much better version of the largest map on which you can zoom in to see more detail of Whitehorse and surrounding area in 1907.
