This paper examines the development of the Yukon transportation system from the early 1840s to the 1960s including sleds, foot trails, river routes, the White Pass and Yukon Railway and the Alaska Highway within the context of economic conditions. Describes the limitations to development posed by geography and non-renewable resources exploitation and the role of transportation in alleviating these problems.
