The regional stream survey for southwest Yukon (NTS 115F East half and 115G) was conducted during the summer of 1986.

This report presents analytical and statistical data for 20 elements in stream sediments from 1,005 sample sites, collected at an average density of one sample per 13.6 km². Loss-on-ignition in sediments, and uranium, fluoride, and pH values in waters from these sites are included in this report.
